Pepper Jelly
1 1/2 cups finely chopped green bell pepper
1 1/2 cups white vinegar
6 1/2 cups sugar
3 ounces liquid pectin
In a large saucepan combine green pepper, white vinegar, and sugar. Bring to a boil, cook for 6 minutes stirring constantly.
Stir in liquid pectin and continue to boil for 3 more minutes, stirring constantly. Skim off foam if needed and remove pan from heat.
Ladle into sterilized jars, leave 1/4 to 1/2 inch space at the top. Seal and process in a hot water bath for 5 minutes.
Notes…..
….if you want more color after you add the pectin add a few drops of green or red food coloring. I usually do.
…..makes 6 half pints or a dozen 4 Oz jars. …..do Not try to double the recipe, it never works on pepper jelly.
