Hot Pepper Jelly
- 8 green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
- 8 red, yellow or orange bell peppers, seeded and chopped
- 1 1/2 cups vinegar
- 7 cups white sugar
- 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 4 (2 ounce) packages dry pectin
- Run the red and green peppers through a coarse grinder, or pulse in a food processor until finely chopped.
- Transfer to a strainer, and drain really well.
- This is key to your success.
- While the peppers are draining, sterilize your jars by boiling or using the dishwasher.
- Keep hot.
- In a large pot, combine the peppers, vinegar, white sugar, red pepper flakes and pectin.
- Bring to a rolling boil over high heat while stirring constantly.
- A rolling boil is one that does not stop when stirred.
- Boil for 1 minute.
- Remove from the heat, and ladle into hot sterile jars to within 1/2 inch of the top.
- Seal with new lids and rings.
- Place into a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
- The jars should be completely covered by water.
- Remove and let cool.
- The jelly will be somewhat loose.
- The last jar may not be full.
- Just refrigerate, and use within a week or two.
