Ingredients

1 cup red or green bell pepper strips (about 1 med. pepper)

2 cups cider vinegar

1/3 cup drained canned (or bottled) whole jalapeno peppers, rinsed; stems & seeds removed*

1-1 1/4 cups dried apricot halves, finely slivered (6 oz. bag)

6 cups sugar

1 pouch (3 oz) liquid pectin

5 drops red or green food color (depends on type of bell pepper used)

*If available, use 1/3 cup fresh jalapeno peppers instead of the bottled ones.

Directions

Combine pepper strips, vinegar & jalapeno peppers in an electric blender. Process stop-and-go fashion until somewhat ground, but small chunks remain. Combine with apricot strips & sugar in saucepan; bring to a boil. Boil 5 mins. Remove from heat; skim off any foam. Cool 2 mins, then mix pectin & food color. Pour into sterilized jars & fasten lids. Process in boiling water bath for 15 minutes if desired. Cool.

Do you have any suggestions for using this jelly in a recipe? I thought maybe Turkey Glaze or something.

THX for the tips. I'm going to give this one a try. :)

It goes well with a Baked Ham and also just poured over some cream cheese then spread some of each onto some good crackers. This is good for most spicy jams/chutneys that I have tried. It would also be good on a meat sandwich (beef, turkey or chicken), the sweet and spicy hotness works well together.

This sounds fabulous. I have a habenero on the back patio struggling through the heat and the worms, next year, I'll get jalapenos. This would be beautiful gifts for the holidays or in a hostess gift basket.
