Intensely red with medium heat, can be made hotter by adding an extra jalapeno, cooler by omitting one. Use for anything you'd use a hot pepper jelly for, like with crackers and cream cheese, or with roasted game. For Cranberry Balsamic Hot Pepper Jelly, you can replace 1/4 c. of the cider vinegar with balsamic vinegar. From "The Complete Book of Small-Batch Preservation".
