Pepper Jelly

Mmmmm...pepper jelly. This recipe is here by popular demand. I got this fantastic recipe from my mom for pepper jelly, and it's super easy to make. You can use any color pepper, but I just happened to have red peppers from my garden, so I used those. It doesn't take very many peppers. Here are a few pictures from the process of making the jelly. I forgot to take any pictures of when the jelly is cooking on the stove - unfortunately it doesn't go from food processor straight to the jar like the pictures show!

Now throw some cream cheese in a cute little dish, slap some pepper jelly on top of the cream cheese, serve with crackers or pretzels, and YUM-O!
