This Jalapeno Pepper Jelly is a combination of recipes. I was looking for a pepper jelly to use in my Sweet Jalapeno Bourbon Ribs recipe. Couldn't find any in our small town grocery store so I made my own. Very easy recipe! But word of caution, this will open your sinus'!!

How To Make red jalapeno pepper jelly - dee dee's

Step 1

Combine pepper strips, jalapeno peppers, cayenne pepper and vinegar in blender. Process-stop-and-go fashion to desired fineness. NOTE: I processed pretty fine.

Step 2

Combine pepper mixture with sugar in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Boil 2 minutes; remove from heat and skim to remove foam. Cool for 5 minutes and then strain to remove peppers and seed. Add pectin and food color.
Step 3

Pour into sterilized jars and fasten lids. Process in boiling water bath for 15 minutes, if desired, or refrigerate (the original recipe did not call for processing, however, I did process) Cool.
Step 4

NOTE: you can leave peppers in this jelly, but you would need to seed the peppers before processing. I wanted a clear pepper jelly so I strained the peppers and seeds.
Step 5
