Jalapeno Pepper Jelly

I love Jalapeno Pepper Jelly and this recipe is a great way to use up the jalapenos and green peppers I have growing in my garden. It's so good served as an appetizer...just pour it over a brick of cream cheese and serve with crackers...or as an accompaniment to steak or chicken. The flavor is perfectly sweet with a hint of hot pepper that gives it just the right amount of 'kick'.
