Hot Pepper Jelly
1 c Cored and ground sweet red-or green peppers, with the seeds 1/2 c Cored and ground long hot red or green peppers -(see note) 6 1/2 c Sugar 1 1/2 c White vinegar 1/4 teaspoons Salt, if desired 6 oz (1 bottle) fruit pectin Red or green food coloring-(optional)
Combine the sweet peppers, hot peppers, sugar, vinegar, and salt in a saucepan. Simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Strain or not, as desired, and return mixture to the saucepan. If strained, the solids are good as a relish. Pour in the pectin and bring to the boil. Stir in the food coloring. Pour into sterilized half-pint jars and seal with paraffin. Store in a cool place.
YIELD: 8 to 10 half-pints
NOTE: If long hot peppers are not available, drained tinned jalapeno peppers, available in many supermarkets, may be substituted according to taste.
