Pomegranate Pepper Jelly

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 1 hour Process: 10 min. YIELD: 7 half-pints.
Stirring pomegranate juice into my jalapeno jelly creates a beautiful red version for the holidays. Spread it on crackers, fish or poultry. My husband even uses it as a dip for Mexican food! —Katherine Metz, Sharpsburg, GA

Ingredients

  • 6 jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, halved lengthwise and seeded
