Easy Festive Pepper Jelly

I myself am a fan of canning and preserving but around the holidays finding the time to preserve a batch of jelly isn't always feasible.  Fake out your guests with this pepper jelly, a little bit store bought, a little bit homemade....a true time saver!!  Double or triple the batch to reserve for those unplanned gifts :)

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup apple jelly
• 1/4 cup orange marmalade
• 2 - 3 jalapeno peppers, finely diced (seeded if you like it more mild)
• 1/4 cup red pepper, finely diced
• 1 tsp vinegar

Place all ingredients into a medium size sauce pan and allow the jelly and marmalade to melt and mix together.  Heat on low for 5 - 8 minutes just until the peppers get a little tender.  Ladle into sterilized jars and refrigerate.  Serve over a block of cream cheese with crackers!
