Hot Pepper Jelly Recipe
“This is my signature jelly. I make it for everyone and every occasion. I have even made some and tinted purple for Dreamgoddess’ daughters wedding. It is very easy and can be made as hot or as mild as you want.
For really hot I use 4 habernero peppers, for milder, use in the amount called for in recipe using your preference in peppers. I just throw the peppers in the blender in large chunks with the vinegar and let the blender to the chopping for me.
