Spicy Pepper Jelly

For a non-spicy version, simply replace the jalapeños with equal amount of chopped sweet red pepper and process as directed. Serve this delicious jelly on the side with roasted meats or poultry or with crisp crackers spread with cream cheese.

 
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
  Makes about 6 cups (1.5 L)

1 tsp (5 mL) salt
5-1/2 cups (1.375 L) granulated sugar
2 pouches (170 ml) liquid pectin

In food processor, process red pepper until a coarse purée. Or chop in blender, in batches.
