Do you make the hot pepper jelly yourself?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I do. I like ‘Mrs. Wages.’ Instead of juicing down all the bell peppers that it calls for, it works equally well with good old Apple Juice, or any combination of pepper & apple juice. You need 5 cups of liquid per batch.

Once I learn of a shortcut - I take it! ;)

I used to sell Mrs. Wages mixes at the Garden Center. I’ve made ALL of her stuff - and we did a LOT of ‘taste-testing’ in the Break Room through the years. Pickles, Salsa (I use 2 packs of her Salsa mix per batch - one mild and one medium and it’s PERFECTION!) - she’s got a great line of mixes to choose from.
