HOT PEPPER JELLY 
1/4 c. hot pepper, ground or cut fine (can use jar of pickled whole jalapenos)
3/4 c. bell pepper, ground or cut fine
6 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. white vinegar
1 bottle Certo or equivalent dry (6 oz. bottle)
Few drops green food coloring or red

Mix sugar and vinegar, bring to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and add Certo peppers and food coloring. If you use red peppers, use red food coloring. If green peppers, use green food coloring. Pour into sterilized jelly jars and seal with hot paraffin.

This makes a pretty Christmas appetizer over a block of cream cheese. Serves with crackers. Makes 8 or 9 half pints.
