TK...I am not sure, but seen that and thought that it looked like something you might want to try...I'd say it might be good to use as a sauce over meat, maybe baked in the over or ???? If you make some let us know what it taste like. It might be good spread on a bagel or biscuit.
I asked for a pepper jelli a while ago and then found one later on. Mine is very close to yours.
I made it and I think I'm addicted, it is just delicious.

I made the mint-apple jelly today. See what happens when I can't get on the website lol. Anyway it only made 2 1/2 pints for me so I'm going to use 4 1/2 cups of apple juice next time.
I used a boiling water process to seal the jars because I read that parafin may not be as safe. I had really good luck and all three jars sealed. What method do you use and how does it work for you?

Water boiling bath is the best method, an old neighbor lady doesn't even water bath them, she just puts the flats and rings on and turns them upside down and they seal. But waterbath processing, not only makes them seal, but also kills any bacteria that might still remain in your finished product. So by using the water bath method, you are ensuring that your product is safe to consume.
