  • You could buy pepper jelly at the store, but it is so rewarding to make you own. Just a note, you will want to wear gloves when working with these peppers. I picked an assortment of peppers from my garden. You could use all jalapeno if you wanted. I like the red serrano in this jelly because it adds color.
