Directions: |
Directions:Wash peppers, remove stems and seeds**, chop and blend in a food processor.
Use a large stainless steel or enamel sauce pan (no aluminum).
Mix sugar with vinegar and bring to a boil using low heat.
Stir, add blended peppers and boil for 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat,.
Add Certo and food coloring.
Stir well and return to heat.
Bring to boil and cook for 1 minute.
Pour into sterile jars and seal with paraffin or with new canning lids.
Note: decanting from the cooking pan to a "pouring" pitcher seems to work best.
To facilitate removing the paraffin when serving, I put the ends of a 5" piece of string in the melted paraffin seal before it hardens.

Notes: Great as an hors d'oeuvre with cream cheese and cocktail crackers. Real Texans use it with peanut butter for PBJ sandwiches.
It is also great with Brie, especially the log brie cut into slices - Dorrie
**For SPICIER JELLY:
Mild-Medium heat: substitute jalapeņos for the green peppers
for a LOT of heat, either don't remove the seeds, (just cut off the stems), or add 2 habanero peppers
