    I did it... I did it !!!!

    I have never made jam or jelly before in my life and I have just successfully made cider apple and chilli jelly!!!

    But here is the best bit..... all the chilli bits are perfectly suspended in the beautifully clear jelly...

    Yaaaaayyyy!!!

    Sorry have to brag about it on here as I cant tell Mum and Mil as they are pressies for their xmas hampers!

    Whoop whoop

                  Thanks peeps

                  I sort of merged 2 recipes, I followed this one

                  http://www.cottagesmallholder.com/re...apple-jelly-43

                  but added some finley chopped red chillis a few minutes before the end of cooking (that bit came from another recipe) let it cool a little bit, you can see the chillis start to drop, then poured it into jars.... hey presto

                            Taff, from what I have read (also someone on the vine... sorry cant remember who, but thanks) you have to wait a little while it cools slightly in the pan. It was only a minute or two but I stirred it a couple of times and you gradually see the 'bits you wants suspended' drop thats when I quickly poured it into the jars.

                            To be honest I think it was more luck than judgement

                              You must be real proud Munch. Congratulations. I have been making jams and jellies for yonks and have only just realised that you do not pot immediately but leave to rest about 15 minutes. Well done you.
