We love this jelly on Ritz crackers, with or without cream cheese!
From Ball Blue Book Guide to Preserving (100th anniversary edition):
Jalapeno Jelly
Not a true jelly, because the pepper puree is in the finished product, but the product is nearly transparent anyway.
3/4 lb. jalapeno peppers
2 c. cider vinegar, divided
6 c. sugar
2 pouches liquid pectin
(optional green food coloring)
Wash peppers; drain. Remove stems and seeds. Puree peppers and 1 c. vinegar in a food processor or blender. Combine puree, 1 c. vinegar, and sugar in a large sauce pot. Bring to a boil; boil 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in liquid pectin. Return to a rolling boil. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary. Stir in a few drops of food coloring, if desired. Ladle hot jelly into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Adjust two piece caps. Process 15 minutes (10 min. sea level + 5 min. for 1,,001-6,000 ft. altitude) in a boiling water canner.
Note: When cutting or seeding hot peppers wear rubber gloves to prevent hands from being burned.
Yield: about 5 half pints.
