I've got 10 cans of jalapeños opened and emptied into Tupperware because the cans are the right size for a project, but I don't need the peppers. I'm trying to use the peppers, and I thought jelly might be a way to do that.

Can I use jalapeños from a can when the recipe calls for fresh, or will it not come out right?
