Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 medium red jalapeno peppers
--(up to 6 peppers)
3/4 cup red bell pepper -- chopped
6 cups sugar
2 1/2 cups cider vinegar
2 packages liquid pectin (3 oz. each)

1) Remove most of the seeds from the jalapeno peppers and chop
coarsely. You should have 1/4 cup. In a blender or food processor,
whirl all of the peppers until finely ground. Place ground vegetables
and any juice in a heavy-bottomed 8 to 10 quart pan. Stir in sugar
and vinegar until well blended.
2) Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
Stir in pectin all at once. Return to a full rolling boil; then boil,
stirring for 1 minute. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
3) Ladle hot jelly into hot, sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4"
headspace. Wipe rims and threads clean; top with hot lids, then
firmly screw on bands. Process in boiling water canner for 5 minutes.

peppers but it doesn't look as nice. You can also use paraffin
instead of processing in boiling water. Use jam within one year of
canning.
