Thanks, am waiting for your answer.......

You don't drain the jalapeno peppers. I finally did make some with the dry Ball pectin by using the conversion info for converting the liquid pectin to using the dry pectin and the jelly turned out well after canning. All the recipes called for liquid pectin and all I had was the dry pectin. I used the recipe calling for 12 jalapenos with the tops cut off, then cut in half lengthwise and then seeded, then put in food processor with 1 cup cidar vinegar to blend. (So there's no juice to drain). I did throw one in with all the seeds for a little more kick and then followed the recipe for the remaining vinegar, sugar and pectin.
