Looking for Jalepeno Jelly recipe

[Jo McDonald]

I was going through some recipes yesterday and came across this one -- So I thought I would share.
               You skip the canning process to make an easy, small batch, keep- in -the -fridge jelly
3 fresh jalapeno seeded and coarsely chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
3 cups sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 (6 ounce) package liquid fruit pectin
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Process jalapeno and bell peppers in a food processor until smooth
Combine pepper puree, sugar and vinegar in a non aluminum saucepan.  Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring constantly.  Boil 3 minutes, stir in pectin and lime juice.  Boil, stirring constantly, 1 minute.  Remove from heat, and skim off foam with a metal spoon.
Pour into hot sterilized jars, filling to 1/4 inch from top.  Wipe jar rims.  Cover at once with metal lids, and screw on bands: cool.  Store in refrigerator. Serve over cream cheese.


  I have not tried this, but Tobina, maybe your Dad would like to try this one- and not use the food processor.  Just a thought.

Thanks Jo, that's much like mine but even better! I like the addition of the pickling spice and onion. The one with the lime juice sounds good too.
