This is my good friend, Liz Krejci's, Pepper Jelly recipe! I remember the first time I ever had some, she brought it to a party we were having, and served it over cream cheese on crackers! Ohhhhh I was in love with it! It was soooooo yummy!
Since then I've had it many times (every Christmas we would get a gift basket of her canned goodies, and the pepper jelly was always one of the most cherished).
Until today had I never made it myself, so I picked some great peppers from my Kitchen Garden and got to work chopping and dicing the peppers. Ooooo laaaa laaaa! Wonderful!
