Cranberry Jalapeno jelly Recipe

[LinPBJ]

I once had cranberry jalapeno jelly served over cream cheese as a very tastey
appetizer spread. Does anyone know of such a recipe or where I might find it?

TIA

I typed cranberry jalapeno jelly into metacrawler as a phrase and came
up with three recipes. Here is one:

3 cups cranberry juice

1 cup chopped seeded jalapeno peppers

7 cups sugar

1 cup vinegar

2 pouches (3 oz. ea.) liquid fruit pectin

10 drops red food coloring - optional, but

sure is pretty.

Place cranberry juice and peppers in a blender;

cover and process until peppers are fully chopped. Strain through a
double thickness of cheese cloth. Pour the strained
juice into a

large kettle; add sugar. Bring to a full rolling

boil, stirring constantly. Stir in vinegar and pectin; return to a full
rolling boil. Boil for

1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from the

heat; skim foam. Add food coloring, if desired.

Pour into hot jars, leaving 1/4 headspace.

Adjust caps and process for 5 minutes in a

boiling water bath.

This makes 8 1/2 pint jars.

This is sooooo good with cream cheese on

crackers. Last year I put a jar of this (with

ribbon, of course), a block of cream cheese,

a box of crackers, and some Christmas candy in

the small gift bags, and presented it to the

several families at our Christmas get together.

It was a hit with all, and so inexpensive!!!

Also, if you would rather have "green", use apple

juice and green food coloring.

Don't you think this would be good as a jam recipe,
with bits of the cranberry and the peppers still in the
mix? Any recipes for something like that?

Just wondering.

Simply melt down a can of cranberry sauce in a sauce pan and add
Tabasco's Jalapeno Sauce to taste. Throw it in the fridge, maybe in a
mold, overnight and WA-LAH!

this a relish instead of a jelly but it is really delicious and always
gets lots of raves.

Here is the recipe Kay Hartman gave me a few years ago. I love it.

Cranberry Jalapeno Relish

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 1/2 cup sugar
3 or 4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
1 12-ounce package fresh cranberries

Bring the water and vinegar to a boil. Let boil 5 minutes.

Add the sugar and jalapeno peppers. Let boil 5 more minutes.

Stir in the cranberries. Let boil 5 more minutes.

Chill in refrigerator.
