Jalapeno Cranberry Jelly Christmas Jelly

This is one that will have your tastebuds begging for more. note: when cutting hot peppers, disposable gloves are recommended and avoid touching your face. i saw the cutest idea. place one very small whole pepper or one whole cranberry in each sterilized half-pint jar pouring over the liquid jelly and processing as recommended. this recipe halves easily. also, i used cranberry juice cocktail in place of pure cranberry juice.
