Steps:
- Sterilize 6 (8 ounce) canning jars and lids according to manufacturer's instructions. Heat water in a hot water canner.
- Place red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and jalapeno peppers in a large saucepan over high heat. Mix in vinegar and fruit pectin. Stirring constantly, bring mixture to a full rolling boil. Quickly stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil, and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and skim off any foam.
- Quickly ladle jelly into sterile jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the tops. Cover with flat lids, and screw on bands tightly.
- Place jars in rack, and slowly lower jars into canner. The water should cover the jars completely, and should be hot but not boiling. Bring water to a boil, and process for 5 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: For a milder jelly, use sweet peppers like bell peppers or banana peppers. For a spicier jelly, use hotter peppers like cayenne peppers or jalapeños. You can also use a combination of peppers to create a unique flavor.
- Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the peppers in the oven or on a grill.
- Remove the seeds and ribs: Once the peppers are roasted, remove the seeds and ribs. This will help to reduce the spiciness of the jelly.
- Use a food processor: A food processor is the easiest way to puree the peppers. You can also use a blender, but be careful not to over-process the peppers, or the jelly will be too smooth.
- Add sugar and vinegar: The sugar and vinegar are added to the pepper puree to create the jelly. The amount of sugar and vinegar you use will depend on your personal preference.
- Cook the jelly: The jelly is cooked until it reaches a thick, syrupy consistency. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
- Pour the jelly into jars: Once the jelly is cooked, pour it into clean jars. Seal the jars and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Conclusion:
Holiday Hot Pepper Jelly Muffins are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any holiday gathering. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
