Jalapeno Jelly Cheese Spread Food

JALAPENO JELLY

Steps:

• Combine the green bell pepper and 12 jalapeno peppers in the container of a food processor or blender. Process until finely chopped. This can be done in batches, if the peppers do not fit.
• Transfer the peppers to a large saucepan, and stir in the cider vinegar. Bring to a boil, and let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain the mixture through at least 2 layers of cheesecloth, and discard pulp. You should have about 1 cup of liquid.
• Return the liquid to the saucepan, and stir in the salt and sugar until dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the mixture comes to a rolling boil (one that cannot be stirred down), boil for one minute, then stir in the liquid pectin.
• Stir in the remaining jalapeno peppers, and ladle into sterile jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Seal jars in a hot water bath. Refrigerate jelly after seal is broken.

GARLIC EXTRAVAGANZA CHEESE SPREAD/DIP WITH JALAPENO JELLY OR RAS

Steps:

• Fill a soup/salad bowl with grated cheese. It will take up less room as you mix.
• Add garlic & onion to your preference. ***This recipe is meant to have a powerful amount of garlic flavor.
• Add mayo by spoonful & mix until it's about the same consistency as pimento cheese spread. Of course, taste with a dab of jalapeño jelly on a cracker & adjust garlic & onion & mayo to your preference.
• Best if chilled for an hour before serving.
• Do not top with jelly or preserves until you are ready to serve it.
• Serve cheese spread smushed out a little on a saucer/plate. Spoon jalapeño jelly or raspberry preserves over the top. You want to have about the same amount of jelly/preserves as cheese spread.
• You want about a 1:1 ratio of cheese spread to jelly on your cracker for it to taste perfect.
• (Jalapeño jelly does not have the heat of jalapeños. It just has the flavor. So if you are afraid of jalapeños, don't be afraid of the jelly).
• I usually have one dish with the jalapeno jelly & another dish with the raspberry preserves because many of my people are scared of the jalapeno jelly.
• The recipe's creator says you must use Club crackers, but I prefer the ritz type.
