– Remove from heat but keep stirring about 5 minutes to keep cranberries and peppers from floating to the top.

– Pour the jelly into individual serving bowls or jars and let cool.

– If you decide to pour the jelly into serving bowls, so that you are ready for unexpected guests it keeps for 6 weeks in the fridge. If you are canning the jelly, it’s the perfect gift!

This makes about 4 cups.
