hot pepper jelly.

I have been wanting to make pepper jelly for a long time, I had some in "the noisy oyster " with fried calamari a little while ago. it was delicious. I really liked it. I was not sure how to make it when I saw a recipe in "Palate".  The peppers jelly in" the noisy oyster " was a smooth jelly with no pieces in it, the recipe from Parade has tiny little pieces of pepper I liked the look of it . i decided to make it.
