Jalapeño Mint Jelly

By Eleanor Topp and Margaret Howard

2.8

(15)

Jalapeño peppers and a double hit of mint liven up traditional mint jelly. Try it with crackers and cheese and with lamb or chicken.

Extra! Tips from Epicurious:

· Liquid fruit pectin, an ingredient that helps form a gel, is available in the produce or jams and jellies aisle of many supermarkets. Certo is a popular brand. Be sure to use the liquid version: While pectin is also available in crystals, the two forms are not interchangeable.

· "I like to mix this jelly with cream cheese and serve it on crackers," says Topp. "The chile peppers and mint make for a flavorful hors d'oeuvre."
