I used this recipe as my first canning experience. Even though I wasn't aware that the jalapenos had to be deseeded it turned out better. Since making it I have used it on just about everything. I used red peppers instead and no food coloring and made a pretty christmas gift. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
nice

good flavor, but too sweet. I could have added more jalapeno or maybe red pepper flakes. All in all this is not an offensive recipe to anyone, and it's pretty and easy to make. Guess who's getting jelly for Christmas this year... Everyone, including me!
Very good

I made this jelly for friends and neighbors for Christmas and it was a hit!! It was very easy to make. Just remember to measure your pectin. The box contains 2 packs. You need to measure 1/2 cup, I needed to use 1 pkg and some of the other pkg.
Paula came through as usual

I have been making jellies for almost 50 years. I have made Paula's recipe many times and never a failed batch. I think it is perfect as is, but I found some of my family and friends didn't like the strong vinegar. So I reduced the vinegar to 1 1/4 cup and added a 1/4 cup of apple juice which also helps it set quicker. I also add 1/4 tsp of butter with the sugar, you'll be amazed on how it keeps the foaming down without affecting the taste. Keep them coming Paula!

loved the recipe! i have been making it going on my 3rd year for christmas gifts. i do add more pectin and jalapeno peppers for more bite. i also use regular white vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar. i usually make this in oct and have for the holiday parties to me the flavor gets better with that month of curing. i take the metal seal and ring off the jar, heat it for 30sec-1min in the microwave and pour warm over cold cream cheese and serve with the ritz, or a real buttery cracker and it complements well, so it doesn't matter so much about the jelling as the pretty presentation & taste! I think i will try putting tester amounts in clear glasses and adding different peppers/colors to it and tasting and then fix up the whole batch with the pectin & seal up for gifts.

This was my first ever attempt at jelly. After reading the reviews, I decided to measure the Certo and use just a little more than 1/2 cup - about 1 1/3 pouches. I also let it sit on the counter overnight. The jelly set up perfectly - it isn't runny at all. I might add a little more jalapeno next batch, since this one really isn't very tangy, but it is absolutely delicious. I'm going to make more for holiday gifts. Keep 'em coming, Paula.
Very good

I made this recipe with the advice from some of the other reviews; I added more green peppers (aprrox 4-5)and jalapenos (4). The jelly is FABULOUS! My family loves this on everything. We even tried this on bagels, steak and pizza. It compliments a lot of food. My dad was so proud that I made this jelly that tastes just like my Grandma used to make.
Yummy.

This was my second attempt at jelly and my first success. This recipe turned out great. It was a little too sweet to me. I may reduce the sugar a little next time. But I was so proud that it jelled, I didn't care. I used the liquid pectin that is 3 oz per pouch. I used 1 and a 1/3 pouch. It jelled to the perfect consistency. Also, after I put the lids to seal, I put them back in the boiling water canner and let them boil for about 5 minutes. When they came out and sat on the counter, all six gave that little "pop" to show that they had sealed.

This pepper jelly is great. This was my first time canning, and it took some getting used to but I will try again. I added crushed red pepper flakes in with the green peppers to give some little bits of color and flavor. I used the half cup of certo but it didn't gel up quite like I thought it should...then I read the instructions in the certo box and it said some jellies can take several days to set. The jar I kept for my own house went into the fridge quickly and still isn't really gelled up yet, but it went in before I read the instructions in the certo box. It said to let them set for 24 hours before refrigeration, so the ones I will give away are still on the counter and it seems to be gelling more. Anyway, runny or gelled, the flavor is excellent and I'm happy with my first jelly-making experience! Try this recipe.

Well this was my first foray into the world of canning, and it was easy and tasty! Everyone who has tried it has really liked it, and we're excited to use it for holiday entertaining. We opened one jar the next day, however, maybe that was too soon because the vinegar scent was very pungent. But it tasted great!

User: LOUISE from Sullivan, MO User Rating:
We have both red and green peppers in our garden, as well as jalapeno, so I couldn't wait to make this. It is wonderful. So easy and fast! If you use Certo in the pouches, please measure it. The recipe calls for 4 oz. of Certo - that's 1/2 cup. The box says, "can make two batches of jelly." Can is the operative word there. One pouch doesn't measure 1/2 cup. I had to use some out of the second pouch. That could make a lot of difference in your success with jelly.

I have been purchasing pepper jelly for years and now, I can mak it myself! I have never canned before in my life so I was a bit apprehensive. It is really important to have the right tongs; may I suggest ones that have some type of grips for ease in retreiving the jars from the boiling water. It was quick and easy and absolutely delicious! I also made the same thing with red bell/hot peppers, it was beautiful and they are going to make excellent gifts this Christmas!

This was a great recipe for my first canning attempt. I made a few changes- added 1 whole green pepper, 1 whole red pepper, and 4 medium jalapeno (no seeds). It was great, not too sweet like others I have tasted. I don't think you could ever go wrong with one of Paula's recipes.

Hot Pepper Jelly has always been my weakness. However, this recipe turned out very acidic and it even smells too strong. I will try it again and cut down about 1/2 C on the vinegar and add about another 1/2 C of sugar. I agree it could use more peppers. Wish me luck with the second batch. Very easy recipe to follow...

I am 34 years old, and my mom and grandmother have been making this for as long as I can remember. We have always had it with cream cheese and Ritz crackers, but it is also good with roast beef or other types of beef with no gravy. It is delicious with ham (straight out of the oven or fried in a cast iron skillet)!! Also, try on toasted onion bagels with cream cheese.

I am never disappointed with Paula's recipes, and this one is a hit. I added 2 tsps of cayenne pepper at the end when adding the pectin to give more of a kick, but it is perfect for cream cheese and crackers, as a glaze for grilled chicken or steak or as a condiment to any baked or grilled meat. Thank you, Paula, for all your wonderful recipes.

I am a creative cook/kitchen manager for TGI Fridays. I used red, orange, and green bell peppers instead of just green. I let all the waitresses try it with cream cheese and ritz crackers. Overall according to everybody's opinion it gets 4 stars. It is not spicy at all which was the complaint, so I reccomend red pepper flakes, or more jalapenos (really both). But if you use all green bell peppers, I think it would look nicer with red food coloring instead of green. :-P
Little More Zing

User: PATSY from Freeport, TX User Rating:
This is one great jelly, and the color is very pretty green, except when you stump your toe like I did, then you get a deep dark green. As for adding more zing, well maybe add about two tablespoons more of the jalapeno peppers, this could be to your own taste, some like it hot some like it cool... I plan on giving this jelly for Christmas gifts, add a nice jar, little red ribbon, and lo Christmas...

Not Happy

User: Anonymous User Rating:
I made this tonight and I am not a happy camper! I followed the directions to the letter. First, after pouring in the pectin I got a "heavy solid scum" on the top. Not sure how it happened. I'll have to live with it I guess. I added one habanero pepper along with the jalepanos, WOW what an intense flavor. One thing we don't see is "how many takes" before Paula gets the recipe right. It's always perfect to us the viewers but I'm sure there are things that we don't know that could help us.
