My family relishes this jelly served with meat or spread on crackers with cream cheese. It's in hot demand as a gift. Ingredients:
5 cups sugar |
2 medium tart apples, peeled and coarsely chopped |
1-1/2 cups cider vinegar |
3/4 cup finely chopped green pepper |
8 to 10 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped |
1/4 cup water |
6 to 8 drops green food coloring |
2 pouches (3 ounces each) liquid fruit pectin |
cream cheese and assorted crackers |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, apples, vinegar, green pepper, jalapenos and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Strain mixture and return to pan. Stir in food coloring. Return to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in pectin; boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
2. Remove from the heat; skim off foam. Pour hot liquid into hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Adjust caps. Process for 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner. Serve with cream cheese on crackers. Yield: About 5 half-pints.
