    I actually made it my self with 1 jar or Smuckers sugar free strawberry preserves
    I diced one jalapeno and added it to the jelly and let simmer for about 10 min and then just put it back in the same jar It is good and way cheaper than the store bought

    BUMP!

    tex43-just mince the jalepeno, I would recomment sautee the jalepeno first a little to help soften it, then add the jelly and simmer. But then you still get lil pops of pepper without having a crunch!
