Ever since I made the Brie Kisses appetizer recipe I have become addicted to Hot Pepper jelly. I spent a small fortune on small jars and then decided to try to make it myself. Well lets just say I don't have the nack for jelly making. However a friend of mine told me this method and boy my life has changed forever and it takes a whole five minutes to make. Okay, realistically less than 10 minutes depending on how fast you are with a knife.

1 jar (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) jar apple jelly
2-3 finely chopped jalapeno peppers

Directions

1
Spoon out apple jelly into a saucepan.
2
Add chopped jalapenos.
3
Bring to a boil and let boil for 2 minutes.
4
(This could also be done in a microwave).
5
You can add a drop or two of food coloring if you want.
6
Pour mixture into sterilized jar and lid; turn upside down for 5 minutes, then upright and it will seal.
7
Or you can do it the lazy the way like I did- I poured it back into the jar I bought the apple jelly in (didn't even rinse the jar out), tightened the lid on and turn upside down and it sealed itself again.
8
(I should put a disclaimer that I am not sure if you should do it the lazy way or not-but I keep the jar in the frig-no worries!).

I was just about to order some pepper & onion relish from Harry & David's when I came across this recipe. It's delicious & a whole lot cheaper! Plus, you don't have to wait on it to be delivered! Thanks for sharing!

This was great. I needed 9 small gifts for a party that I was attending. I bought the cheap 18 ounce jars of apple jelly at my local Walmart for about $1.25 a piece. Six of those jars made 10 (1/2 pint) jars of hot pepper jelly. I put about 20 jalapenos (seeds and membrane included) and about 10 serrano chilis (also with seeds and membrane) into my food processor... ground them up and then heated the apple jelly and the ground pepper mash together until it was melted and the bright green was gone from the peppers. I then strained the peppers out and was left with a nice clear hot pepper jelly. I added some green food coloring to my liking and ladled into jars and covered them with a pretty fabric and ribbon. I put them all back into the box the jelly jars came in and put them in my refrigerator. I didn't bother with a hot water bath or anything. I'll explain to the recipients that the jelly is to be used soon and tell them that it's not 'canned' and it needs to stay in the refrigerator. How easy can it get? Thanks so much for the great idea.

Delicious! I made this for Thanksgiving and poured it over a block of cream cheese to serve with crackers for an appetizer. It was soooo good, that I'm going to make these for Christmas gifts and add a personal label to each jar. Thanks for a great inexpensive (and delicious) gift idea!

This get five stars for being truly easy and very good. Apple jelly is not available where I live therefore I used Apricot and it was delicious. I also added a small amount of green bellpepper.
