HOT PEPPER JELLY
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 habarnero 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.

Steps:
- Chop peppers and put in blender with vinegar.
- Blend well and pour into large boiler.
- Add sugar and mix well.
- Bring mixture to a rolling boil and boil for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat, strain through sieve and return liquid back to a boil.
- Boil for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- Add Certo and food coloring quickly.
- Put into 6 (1/2 pint) jars and seal.
- I use heated seal method, where I heat the lids in boiling water, place on jar, secure ring tightly and turn jar upside down for 5 minutes.
- Turn jar up correctly and allow to cool completely before storing.
- Newer studies show that it is safer to seal with the hot water bath method. To do this, put into a large boiler with rack on bottom, cover with 1-2 inches of water and boil for 5 minutes. Remove to rack to cool.

HOT-PEPPER JELLY
Pepper jelly makes a spicy-sweet match for soft cheeses, such as goat or Camembert (or even cream cheese) -- especially when served atop crackers or crostini. You can also use the jelly as a glaze for chicken or pork: Melt it, then brush it on the meat before roasting or after grilling.

Steps:
- Place a few small plates in freezer. Combine apples and 2 1/2 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, partially covered, mashing occasionally with a potato masher, until fruit is very soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer fruit to a fine sieve set over a heatproof bowl; let drain without pressing on fruit, 4 hours. Strain again through sieve lined with damp cheesecloth. (You should have 2 cups.)
- In a saucepan, bring juice, vinegar, salt, bell pepper, and hot pepper to a boil. Add sugar; return to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Cook, stirring, 11 minutes. Turn off heat. Place a small spoonful of jelly on a chilled plate; return to freezer 1 minute. Remove and push your finger through mixture; if it wrinkles, it is done. If not, return to a boil for 1 to 2 minutes, then check again. (Or cook until a thermometer registers 221 degrees.) Skim foam from top.
- Ladle into clean containers, leaving 3/4 inch of headroom; let cool completely. Cover, label, and refrigerate up to 1 month, or freeze up to 1 year.

Steps:
- Run the red and green peppers through a coarse grinder, or pulse in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a strainer, and drain really well. This is key to your success.
- While the peppers are draining, sterilize your jars by boiling or using the dishwasher. Keep hot.
- In a large pot, combine the peppers, vinegar, white sugar, red pepper flakes and pectin. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat while stirring constantly. A rolling boil is one that does not stop when stirred. Boil for 1 minute.
- Remove from the heat, and ladle into hot sterile jars to within 1/2 inch of the top. Seal with new lids and rings. Place into a boiling water bath for 15 minutes. The jars should be completely covered by water. Remove and let cool. The jelly will be somewhat loose. The last jar may not be full. Just refrigerate, and use within a week or two.

HOT PEPPER GARLIC JELLY
I have made several different recipes for hot pepper jelly and decided that I had tweaked them all to the point of newness. Here is my interpretation of a good, hot jelly that works well as a glaze on chicken or pork or on top of a brie or over some cream cheese. Heck I have even had it on celery with peanut butter but that's a whole other story. I use a variety of colored peppers for really pretty jelly, yellow, red green, etc. I think habenaros give the best flavor and heat. My instructions are kind of long but I thought the details of canning might be helpful to someone. Wear rubber gloves whenever handling hot peppers or you'll be sorry. Makes a great addition to a gift basket. Hope you enjoy it.

Steps:
- I begin by putting my jars and rings in a big pot of water on the stove and bring to a low boil.
- Leave them boiling slightly till you are ready for them.
- Have your jar flats ready on the counter along with a damp rag to wipe the rims of your jars after filling.
- Put peppers, green pepper, garlic, vinegar and sugar in a large pot and mix well.
- Bring to a boil, stirring often.
- Boil for 5- 6 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add Certo and stir.
- Pour into 1/2 pint jars.
- As soon as you fill a jar wipe the rim, put a flat in the ring and twist onto jar and invert jar on cloth towel to seal (heat from jar, ring and jelly should seal it).
- Leave them on the counter for a while to finish sealing.
- If you notice the peppers settling just give the jar a little shake every once in a while.
- After they have cooled and sealed (you will not be able to push down on the flat at all) you can turn them over and tighten the rings again and you're done!
- **NOTE FROM CHEF** One packet of liquid certo will work just fine, the jelly will "looser". I actually prefer it with one packet myself.

Tips:
- Choose the right peppers. For a milder jelly, use bell peppers or mild chili peppers. For a spicier jelly, use hotter peppers like habaneros or cayenne peppers.
- Roast the peppers before using them. Roasting brings out the peppers' flavor and makes them easier to blend.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use garlic powder, but reduce the amount by half.
- Add a little vinegar to the jelly for a tangy flavor. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, oregano, or thyme.
- Process the jelly in a sterilized jar to ensure that it seals properly and lasts for a long time.
Conclusion:
Hot pepper garlic jelly is a delicious and versatile condiment. It can be used as a spread for sandwiches and crackers, a dipping sauce for chicken or shrimp, or a glaze for grilled meats. It's also a great gift for friends and family.
