I have been meaning to give this stuff a go for some time and finally
got around to it today. I downloaded a recipe, picked up some red Bell
peppers, some Jalapenos and Certo, washed and sterilized the bottles and
went at it.

It turned out great. It has a nice taste to it and a nice hot bite. This
is a keeper for me. Now that I know how good it easy and how easy it is
to make I won't be buying any more. It will be home made all the way.



Hot Pepper Jelly
2 to 3 small green bell peppers
2 (3oz) pouches or 1 (6oz) bottle
3 to 4 hot red or green peppers
Certo liquid fruit pectin
6 1/2 cups sugar
red or green food coloring (opt)
1 1/2 cup cider vinegar

Seed and coarsely chop the bell and hot peppers. Place the bell peppers
in a blender or food processor and puree' until liquefied. (if needed,
add 1 tablespoon vinegar to the pepper for easier blending). Puree the
hot peppers until liquefied. In a large pot, combine the 1 cup of pureed
peppers with the sugar and vinegar over high heat. Bring to a boil and
add Certo. Add food coloring (opt). Bring to a boil again and pour jelly
into pitcher. Pour into 1/2 pints jars and seal. Makes about 7 half pints.
