Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
3 c. cranberry juice (not light)
1 c. chopped red jalapeno peppers, approx. 6-7 peppers (with or without seeds for desired level of heat)
1 c. white vinegar
7 c. sugar
2 (3 oz.) envelopes liquid pectin (1 box of Certo liquid pectin; has 2 pkts. in it)
1 Tb. butter
10-12 drops red food coloring
Directions:
Directions:
For this step, you may want to wear a mask. Place cranberry juice and jalapenos in a blender; cover and process until peppers are fully chopped. Strain through a sieve pressing with the back of a spoon to remove all liquid. Also may be strained through a double thickness of cheesecloth.
Pour strained juice into a Dutch oven; add vinegar and stir in sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin; return to a full rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute (no longer), stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add 1 Tbs. butter and stir in. Add food coloring. Carefully ladle hot mixture into hot half-pint jelly canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch at top. Wipe rim clean with a cloth, place hot seals on and place rings on and hand tighten.

Place in a hot water bath and process for 15 minutes. Place on a towel with space between and cool. Listen for that pop!

Personal Notes:
I found this recipe on Pinterest this year (2020) and decided to make it in the smaller jars (holds one half of a half pint). Then I did the same jalapeno jelly for Holiday Market and packaged them each in a cellophane bag, tied with a red and green plaid bow. We are selling them for $15 and sold 4 before finishing them almost. They sold out immediately!
This jelly is very good, and I think I like it better than just plain jalapeno jelly. It would be good with turkey, pork or lamb as well as putting over cream cheese.
