Answers to Cranberry Pepper Jelly

Here's a picture of the Cranberry Pepper Jelly.  I think it looks so pretty with the pepper in it.

As for using liquid pectin v. powder pectin, I did some research before I made it and everything I found stated that you could not substitute one for the other.  If the recipe calls for powder pectin, use powder.  If it calls for liquid pectin, use liquid. 

It took me an hour to make it from start to finish (where the jars were cooling on the counter and pinging away as they sealed). 

As for the taste, it's slightly sweet with a little bit of kick.  I think it would be really good on top of roasted chicken or ham or used with a little bit of cream cheese on crackers or bread.  Now, I imagine that the "kick" will increase the longer it sets up since it has a cayenne in it.  But, we shall see.  I really thought it was a nice flavor, though.
