Introduction

Red pepper jelly has become a very popular accompaniment to cheese and charcuterie boards. Adding sweet and spicy jellies to a suite of cheeses can add a lot of flavors and be a unique addition for guests to enjoy. This recipe uses a base of store-bought preserves that have already been thickened. This removes the necessity to prepare or buy a thickening agent for the jelly. Use a variety of peppers for this recipe to tailor it to individual preferences.
