Recipe: Jalapeno Pepper Jelly

Hi Maureen, Thanks for pointing out the missing ingredient. I don't know where md's recipe came from, but I found a duplicate of it on my Cookbook USA CD. - Betsy

JALAPENO PEPPER JELLY

2 large green bell peppers, seeded and finely chopped
8 fresh jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
6 1/3 cups sugar
1 1/3 cups white vinegar
3 tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 pkgs.(3 oz. each) liquid fruit pectin
Green or red liquid food coloring

Combine peppers, sugar, vinegar and lime juice in a flat-bottom kettle; stir well. Bring to a rolling boil, and boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add liquid fruit pectin, and return to a rolling boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.

Remove from heat, and skim off foam with a metal spoon. Add food coloring, 1 drop at a time, for desired color. Quickly ladle jelly into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Cover at once with metal lids, and screw bands tight.

Process jelly in boiling water.

Note: Turn jars frequently during cooling to distribute peppers evenly throughout jelly.
