Steps:

• PREPARE boiling water canner. Heat jars in simmering water until ready for use. Do not boil. Wash lids in warm soapy water and set bands aside.
• PURÉE peppers in food processor or blender with 1 cup cider vinegar until smooth. Do not strain purée.
• COMBINE purée with remaining 1 cup cider vinegar and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
• ADD Ball® RealFruit™ Liquid Pectin, immediately squeezing entire contents from pouches. Continue to boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary.
• LADLE hot jalapeno jelly into hot jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Apply band until fit is fingertip tight.

CRUNCHY & SWEET REFRIGERATOR PICKLED JALAPEñOS

Steps:

• Bring the vinegar, sugar, mustard seed and celery seed to a rolling boil.
• Fill each jar ¾ full of sliced jalapeno slices.
• Pour brine over peppers to within 1/2" of the top.
• Wipe off the rim and put lid and ring on.
• Label jars with the date so you know exactly how long they have been in the refrigerator.
• Store in the fridge. Store in the fridge for at least 24 hours before eating.
• You can also follow proper canning procedures and then process them in a water bath canner if you prefer (will lend a slightly less crunchy pepper). Follow the USDA guidelines for timing.
• Be sure to verify that the lids have completely sealed down if storing on the shelf.
• Leave for 1 week or longer (if you can stand it!)
• Enjoy!

• Wash a wide-mouth pint mason jar and and its lid in hot soapy water. Then rinse and let air dry.
• Thinly slice the jalapeño peppers. Fill the jar with the slices.
• Peel the garlic cloves, leaving them whole. In a small saucepan, combine the garlic, vinegar, water, sugar, kosher salt, peppercorns and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and salt (this will take only a few minutes).
