Jalapeno Apple Pepper Jelly

Ingredients

• 4 lbs apples, unpeeled, chopped into big pieces (including the cores)
• 6 jalapeño chili peppers, sliced in half lengthwise, the seeds and ribs removed from 3 of them (for mildly hot jelly. If you want a hotter jelly leave the seeds and ribs in all of them.)
• 1 green bell pepper (or red if you want the color), seeds and ribs removed, chopped
• 1 cup cranberries (optional but recommended, will help with color and with setting)
• 3 cups water
• 3 cups white vinegar
• 3 1/2 cups sugar (7/8 cup for each cup of juice)
