o, thank u so much!!! i wanted to make this for some xmas gifts. I was afraid that no one would respond till after the holidays. Y, living in a small town is a blessing but sometimes a pain. but i wouldnt trade it for the world, lived in the bigger cities all my life cant beat a small town.

my neighbor has agreed to supervise me. she can do anything so i am confident that now i have all the information it should turn out great!!!

thanks again, i’ll keep u updated on my progress.

The amount of pectin required is 2 3 oz pouches of liquid pectin, which come to 6 oz total. I too have read to only use the liquid and that is what I have done because I can easily find liquid pectin. If I were you, I would use 6 oz of powdered pectin in its place this time. Here is a link to order liquid pectin from amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Ball-Realfruit-Liquid-Pectin-6-Ounce/dp/B005SK6Y16/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1324426210&sr=8-2
I live in a small town and some things are extremely hard to find. For those items I order from Amazon. Just a thought.
Good luck with your jalapeno jelly.

liquid pectin~ i’m going to attempt to make the jalapeno jelly. since i have never done anything like this before i have a question about the pectin? the 2 pouches of liquid pectin? l live in a very small town and no one actually carries liquid pectin. so, what is the quantity of the pectin required? i have no frame of reference when i comes to this so, are the pouches 4oz, 6oz, 8oz? what is the total amount of pectin i’m looking for if i have to use the other stuff that comes in a box? the recipe is kinda vague and really doesnt help if u cant get ur hands on liquid pectin. I have read in some of the postings that u need to only use the liquid??? what if i cant get the liquid pectin?
i did see a post that someone used the boxed pectin. does that come in only one size? do i need a large box? 2 boxes? what?

i’m very confused about the entire pectin issue.

thanks!!!!

Maureen,
I wanted to reply to your question a second time. I just finished making two batches of jalapeno jelly moments ago. Does the jelly look dark in the jar? Or is it dark when you spoon it out? In the jar, mine is olive green. However when you spread it on a cracker or toast, it is a translucent nice green color. If it just looks dark in the jar, ignore my prior reply.
