Jalapeno Jelly

 Linda (California) says:
This recipe was just great. I made one batch per the recipe, and since I like mine hot, I used half jalapenos in one batch, and three quarters jalapenos with a sprinkle of cayenne pepper in the last batch, all fantastic. This is the first time I have made jalapeno jelly and I am thrilled. The flavor is incredible, my friends will love it too!!

A small suggestion try - instead of cider vinegar use 1 cup 5% acidity and 1/2 cup red wine vinegar. Can also use for a rub on chicken,pork and ribs.
