So apparently apples have enough pectin in to blend some peppers into an already made jam so you don't have to use pectin. I find that using pectin sometimes makes a very firm jelly. So here's what I did.
Peel and shred 2 apples, mix in the peppers you decide to use. I used 2x wickedmike's hot trini mystery peppers which I had smoked in hickory the night before. Put that in the food processor and pulse till it's all broken down. Next incorporate 1/2 cup sugar with 1/3 cup apple cider into the mixture into a pan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce and simmer until there isn't any liquid. Finally, add in 36oz of any jelly flavor you wish, I used red currant this time. Mix and bring to a boil, the reduce to a mdm low and let it go for about 20 minutes, till it reduces to about 4 cups. Mix in 1/2tsp apple cider and then jar it.
