Ingredients: One 6-ounce jar apple jelly; 1/2 green bell pepper, finely diced; 1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced; 1/2 large jalapeno, finely diced; 1/4 cup finely diced fresh parsley; 1/4 cup finely diced red onion; 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro; 4 ounces Florida lobster meat; 4 ounces sea scallops; 2 teaspoons olive oil; 1/2 cup all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup semolina flour; 2 teaspoons baking powder; 1 teaspoon sugar; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; 2 large eggs; 1/2 cup chopped green onion; 1/4 cup finely diced red onion; 1/4 cup clam juice; 1/4 cup lager beer; 1 teaspoon chopped jalapeno; Vegetable or canola oil, for frying

Directions

For the pepper jelly: Mix together the apple jelly, green pepper, red pepper, jalapeno, parsley, onion and cilantro in a small bowl. Let set at least 1 hour to infuse the flavors.
For the fritters: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the lobster and scallops with the olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 5 minutes to parcook. Chop the lobster and dice the scallops.
Mix together the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add the eggs, green onion, red onion, clam juice, beer, jalapeno, lobster and scallops and mix to combine. Let stand for 5 minutes
Heat 1 inch of vegetable or canola oil in a frying pan over medium high to about 350 degrees F. Scoop the mixture in 1-tablespoon portions into the frying pan and cook until golden brown, being careful not to overcrowd the pan; carefully turn the fritters if necessary.
Drain on paper towels and serve with the pepper jelly on the side.
