Hot pepper jelly is served over cream cheese with crackers.
Hot and delicious!
Note:
If I am making green jelly, I try to use a red pepper for a little color
contrast (or yellow, or both as the mood strikes)..If I use the red
coloring, the green peppers are decorative enough. The real proof
is in the taste! Mmmmm! I've also found that the white vinegar
makes a jelly with more sparkle.
Note from Webmaster: I personally have never made this recipe, but several have written and said that it does not set up
immediately, but once it sets for a few days it does fine and is great.
