7 green bell pepper
1 jalapeno
1 1/2 cups vinegar
1 1/2 cups apple juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 cups sugar
1 package powdered pectin

Wash peppers; remove stems and seeds and cut into 1/2 inch squares. Puree

NOTES : This will make a very mild product & the jalapeno flavor will be
nearly indetectable. Change the peppers to 8 jalapenos & 1-2 bell peppers
for more jalapeno flavor. (It's the pepper juice being used, anyway.)
