Red Pepper Jelly

 Shirley (British Columbia) says:
I added crushed garlic. Let stand 15 min after boiling so peppers finish cooking and don't float. Stir in pectin (I used just about twice the pectin called for to get it to thicken) and boiled again for 10 minutes. Made a second batch with mixed peppers and crushed garlic and used 1 cup cider and 1 cup regular vinegar. Really good.
