JALAPENO JELLY 
3/4 c. ground green bell peppers (3 med.)
1/4 c. ground Jalapeno peppers (5 med.) use gloves
1 c. cider vinegar
5 c. sugar
1 (6 oz.) bottle Certo
Green food coloring (optional)

Combine VERY WELL-DRAINED green pepper, Jalapeno pepper, vinegar, and sugar in large saucepan; bring to full rolling boil. Boil 3 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool 1 minute. Add Certo and 2 drops of food coloring.

Blend and pour into hot, sterilized jelly glasses and seal. Makes about 5 half- pints.

Be sure to use Saran or rubber gloves when preparing jalapenos - they burn! Green peppers that have a large portion of red coloring make a prettier jelly. If you want the jelly hotter, add a little more of the ground jalapeno, possibly 1/3 cup jalapeno, 2/3 bell pepper, but it's pretty HOT!

I never use cider vinegar , only white and red. 1 cup white 5% and 1/2 cup red. The 5% acidity is very important.
