When I make pepper jelly, I puree the chiles with the juice (or whatever) so that the entire mix stays in suspension. This works well if you don't want a specific texture for your jelly.

It actually came out great but I encountered the problem of having all the raw pepper float to the top of the jars. Does anyone know a way of keeping the pepper consistent throughout all the jelly? Thanks a lot for any suggestions. Pete Hydrohot
