It's Jelly Time
 

Time to make the pepper jelly.
Going to make 36 jars of jalapeno jelly today and maybe a dozen jars of jap / hab mixed.
Do this every year . Gotta love making it because you can buy it a whole lot cheaper than making it.
36 jars is 9 lbs seeded peppers ,27 lbs sugar, 18 cups apple cider vinegar, 27 pkg.of pectin .Plus jars ,lids etc.

Sounds awesome!!!

There are lots of things you can buy already made for cheaper than you can make it but you can say "I made this!" . And anything homemade is always much more appreciated and enjoyed than store bought. Besides if you give some to friends and relatives they feel like you're giving them more than just a jar of pepper jelly.

To you I say.... Well done!!!

recipe pepper jelly
 

I made some black berry/Jalapeno jam recently, and it was very good. I do pound of sugar to pound of berrys and cut in about 1/2 pound of jalapenos with seeds. Where does the apple cider vinegar come in for jelly making?

the recipe i use uses 3x the sugar to fruit. The vinegar cuts some of the sugar
. some folks use lemon juice
