Steps:
- Place all peppers in a food processor and pulse until peppers are finely chopped. Empty into a mesh strainer and drain off excess liquid.
- Place the chopped vegetables in a large stock pot and add in the sugar, vinegar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and boil for 10 minutes. Add the pectin and boil 1 more minute. Remove from heat
- Ladle jam into hot sterile jars using a wide mouth funnel. Leave 1/4 inch headspace. Top the jars with the lids, screwing them on with just your thumb and index finger (this is to ensure that it is on but not too tight that the air can't escape).
- Place jars back on the rack and lower into the water. Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. (Add 1 more minute for each 1000 ft elevation above 1000 ft.)
- Remove and place on a towel about 1 inch apart. After a few minutes you should start to hear the cans seal with a pop. Leave the jars untouched on the counter for 12 hours.
- To check for a proper seal, remove the the ring of the lid and lift the can up off the counter 1-2 inches while holding the edges of the lid. If the lid stays attached the jelly is sealed properly and can be stored on the shelf (screw bands removed).
- If a seal did not form or if you opened the lid and broke the seal, jelly can be stored in the fridge.
- Let jelly rest 1 day before opening to allow it to fully set up and be thick.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
- If you have them, slip on some latex gloves for the pepper prep. Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise. With a spoon, remove the seeds and white membranes (the source of the heat; leave a little if you like things HOT). Smear cream cheese into each jalapeno half and then wrap with a bacon piece (1/2 slice). Secure by sticking a toothpick through the middle. Place on the rack in the baking sheet.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. (You don't want the bacon pieces to shrink so much they start to squeeze the jalapenos.) If after 45 minutes the bacon doesn't look brown enough, just keep cooking until the bacon is sizzling.
- Serve immediately, or they're also great at room temperature.

SWEET JALAPENO BOURBON RIBS - DEE DEE'S
These sweet, spicy hot ribs flavored with a Red Jalapeno Pepper Jelly paired with pinto's was the perfect combination for a crockpot BBQ. I served this dish with my Mom's Old Fashioned Mustard Potato Salad and Sweet Cheddar Biscuits that some claim are the Jim n Nicks recipe. This combination was well paired and a big hit!

Steps:
- Place beans in a 4-quart electric slow cookier, set aside.
- If in a slab, cut ribs apart; sprinkle with garlic powder, seasoning salt, salt and pepper. Place ribs on a rack in a broiler pan. Broil 5 1/2-inches from heat (with electric oven door partially opened) 18 to 20 minutes or until well browned, turning once. Add ribs to slower cooker and sprinkle onion on top.
- Combine jelly, steak sauce, bourbon and, if desired, chopped jalapeno pepper in a saucepan; cook over low heat until jelly melts. Pour over ribs; stir gently.
- Cover and cook on HIGH 5 to 6 hours or on LOW 9 to 10 hours.
- Remove ribs; skim fat from sauce. Cook sauce and beans, uncovered, on HIGH for an additional 30 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add ribs just before serving to reheaat.
- NOTES: Jalapeno jelly is a key ingredient in this recipe; it melts into a sweet-spicy glaze that coates these ribs and beans. You can find jalapeno is bigger town grocery stores. I live in a small town and couldn't find it so I made my own. This is a very easy recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/red-jalapeno-pepper-jelly-dee-dees/quick-easy-other-appetizer-2 Country-style ribs are extra meaty. If they come as a slab, you'll need to cut them apart to fit them in the slow cooker. Broiling the ribs first browns them and adds rich flavor, and removes excess fat. Because of the sweet heat in these ribs I felt a sweet cheese biscuit was perfect for this dish: https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/sweet-cheese-biscuits-dee-dees/biscuits The perfect side dish https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/mamas-old-fashioned-potato-salad-dee/quick-easy-potatoes

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