JALAPENO PEPPER JELLY

“This is a very lovely, very sophisticated jelly to have on hand for the holidays, as well as for unexpected visitors. Enjoy this with crackers and softy cream cheese.”

2 (4-oz.) cans diced jalapeno peppers 1-1/2 cups white distilled vinegar
6-1/2 cups white sugar
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
1 (6 fluid oz.) container liquid pectin

In a large, stainless steel saucepan, combine peppers, vinegar, sugar, and cayenne pepper. Cook over medium-high heat. Stir frequently until mixture begins to boil.
