JALAPENO JELLY (Microwave) 
1 c. chopped green bell peppers
2 to 3 jalapeno peppers (seeded and chopped)
2/3 c. cider vinegar
3 c. granulated sugar
1 bottle (3 oz.) liquid fruit pectin
3 drops green or red food coloring

Combine first 3 ingredients in food processor or blender. Process until smooth. Blend in sugar, then remove to 2 quart bowl. Cook on high (600-700 watts) 8 to 10 minutes or until mixture comes to a rolling boil, stirring twice. Stir in pectin and food coloring until thoroughly blended. Pour into half pint jars. Refrigerate, covered, until jelly has developed a good thick consistency, at least 24 hours. Tightly covered and refrigerated, jelly will keep several months. For longer storage, freeze.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
