Been out of the loop for a few days.  Here is the recipie we have the best
success with when making pepper jelly. We have used all hot peppers and no
sweet peppers with much success, the pure habanero jelly is out of this world.

Uses any hot peppers  and  sweet peppers

1/2 Cup fresh hot peppers (seeded, ground)  
     (about 1/2 pound makes this amount)
1/2 Cup sweet bell peppers (seeded, ground)
     (about two medium to large peppers)
1 1/2 Cups cider vinegar
5 cups sugar
2 pouches liquid pectin (do not substitute powdered pectin)
    Grind hot and sweet peppers, combine in saucepan with
vinegar.  Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. 
Strain through fine strainer or cheesecloth.  Do not press, let
drip to get a clear liquid.  
     Add sugar to strained liquid.  Stirring constantly, bring to a
boil over high heat for 1 minute.  Remove from heat and stir in
pectin.  Skim if necessary.  Pour into sterilized, hot jars.  Wipe
jar rims, adjust lids and rings.  Water bath for 5 minutes.
     Great on crackers, toast, or bagels with cream cheese.  
Jelly can also be used as a condiment on scrambled 
eggs  or omlets.
