Pepper jelly is a staple where I live. But I can only seem to find it during the holiday season. This recipe is for green pepper jelly, but you can switch out red peppers to make the red version. I usually decrease the amount of bell peppers and increase the amount of jalapeno, because I prefer mine with more spice. Make this according to your spice tolerance.
