Pepper Jelly Appetizer

Pepper Jelly Appetizer

Makes about 48oz
3 ½ cups of white vinegar
6 cups of sugar
2 table spoons of red pepper flake or 2 cups of sliced jalapenos
2 packs of Certo Fruit Petin (1 box)
Food Coloring

Constantly stirring, bring the vinegar, sugar and peppers to a boil. Add Certo and food coloring and continue to stir. Bring back to a boil. Let it boil for 1 minute, remove from heat and let stand for 2 minutes. It's a little fussy, if you ladle it into the jars when it's too hot all of the peppers will float and if you wait too long it gels in the pot. We keep a jar in the refrigerator for immediate use and water bath the remaining jars for 10 min. It will store just like any other jelly or jam.

To serve, I set a bar of cream cheese on a plate, spoon the jelly on top and surround it with crackers.

Try this.................

Blue Diamond makes a cracker called "Almond Nut Thins".

Place a wedge of Brie cheese on top of an Almond cracker. No need to clean off the rind. Top with a small spoonful of pepper jelly and enjoy. :love:

I really should give pepper jelly another try. I slathered it on some cinammon raisin toast with cream cheese one day and took a huge bite. Little did I realize it wasn't strawberry, until it was way too late.
It wasn't bad, but the cinammon toast wsn't the greatest fit as far as flavors..
