Peppr Jelly
instruction.....this is what I started with, I play with it a little but its good stuff.
PEPPER JELLY
INGREDIENTS:
-1 cup chopped hot peppers, your choice of variety
-1 cup chopped bell pepper
-1 cup white distilled vinegar
-6 cups sugar
-1 box (2packages) of CERTO®
INSTRUCTIONS:
WEAR LATEX GLOVES AND DON’T TOUCH YOUR FACE AT ALL
1. Put all peppers and ½ cup of vinegar in a blender/food processer and turn into a mush….as small as you can make it.
2. In a big ol’ pot put in the blended mess from above, another ½ cup of vinegar, and 6 cups of sugar on medium…do not scorch sugar!!!
3. Keep stirring until you have a nice fluid mixture and it has begun to boil very lightly. Be careful with this stuff, it’s like Napalm right now.
4. Have your jars sterilized ready for jelly with a canning funnel, and lids ready to install.
5. After boiling a little while, cut off the stove and stir in both packages of Certo brand pectin. Stir really, really, really well. After stirring, hurry up and ladle/pour into jars before it turns to jelly.
Notes-this recipe usually makes about 3-5 pints (I think) depending on how you fill jars…This is the normal recipe…When I make it, instead of the listed peppers I put in 1 cup habanero and 1 cup jalapeno/cayenne peppers with a half a cup of bell pepper on top of it. I do remove the seed from about ½ of the hot peppers but not all of em. It’s a good little bit of work to make and clean up, I usually do at least double batches…It is a linear equation, a double batch takes twice as much everything…
You can grow up to be just like me....
