Having an apple tree in my garden I use apple juice as the base of my jelly, which is made as follows;
Ingredients.
6lb apples (Bramley or other sharp cookers) giving approx 5.25 pints juice
6 teaspoons citric acid or 6 tablespoons lemon juice.
As many red or green peppers as you wish.
250ml clear vinegar
6 oz sugar plus
5lbs sugar ( 1lb per pint of juice)
1) Boil vinegar with 6 oz sugar for 15mins and pour over chopped peppers and leave overnight.
2) Juice apples and add 1lb sugar to 1 pint apple juice, citric acid/lemon juice and strained sugar/vinegar mixture from peppers. Boil about 30 mins.
3) When setting point reached take the pan off the heat and add peppers. Stir and pot into jars.
Makes 10 plus jars.
You can add the peppers at stage 2 but the colour is nowhere near as attractive as adding them at the end.

Try subsituting that 1/4 cup of datils with 24 to 30 habs..! now ya got some
heat!
I leave in the seeds for the most part, I just top off the stem area, scoop out
the center of the top let whatever seeds remain go right in. I then throw them
in a food processor, pulse to to fineness desired.. put that into a SS pan on the
stove.. pour half the sugar and vinegar in with the ground up peppers and cook
for 5 minutes at a low boil. This tends to keep the pepper bits supended a bit
better when setting up.
Pour the rest of the vinegar and sugar, bring to boil for 1 minute, add the
pectin and boil for 1 more minute (BTW - I use an extra 1/4 package of pectin
when doing the double batch). The double batch made 10 jars for us.
All the rest is pretty much the same as Gary's notes.
Make sure your jars seal by wiping off the rims before putting on the covers. We
do a submerged hot water bath method for 5 - 7 mins to seal the jars.
