Ingredients
6 fresh jalapeño chiles, trimmed, seeded, and veins removed (or leave some if you like hotter)
2 green bell peppers, seeded
1-1/2 cups cider vinegar
5-1/2 cups sugar
6 ounces (2-pouch package) liquid pectin
few drops green food coloring
*Note: For a red pepper jelly, substitute red bell peppers for the green bell peppers, and red jalapeños for the green jalapeños. Prepare as directed for the green jelly and use a few drops of red food coloring.
Instructions
Cut each chile and pepper into 3 or 4 pieces. Using the metal blade of a food processor, drop the pieces through the feed tube with the motor running. Process to finely mince.
Place the minced peppers, vinegar, and sugar in a 3-quart saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Lower heat and simmer 10 minutes, skimming foam from the top. Stir in the pectin and food coloring and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let stand for 15 minutes.
Pour into sterilized pint jars, seal, and place in a water bath for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool on tea towels. Makes about 6 cups.
*See note above for making red jelly.
