Ingredients:  
1½ lbs. Sandia, Mexico Improved or red hot cherry peppers
1 lb. red bell or paprika peppers
1½ c. water
1 (1¾ oz.) pkg. powdered pectin
1½ c. apple cider vinegar
5½ c. sugar
Directions:
Directions:
Stem and seed peppers; purée as finely as possible in a food processor, about 1 minute. There should be about 5 c. purée. Transfer purée and water to a heavy-bottomed stainless or enameled pot. Place over moderately high heat. When liquid comes to a simmer, lower the heat to medium; simmer slowly for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer cooked purée to a jelly bag or strainer lined with dampened cheesecloth and let the juice drip for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until cool. Stir occasionally with a spoon, but do not squeeze the bag. Pour strained juice into a large heavy-bottomed pot; there should be about 2½ c. of liquid. Add water to equal this amount, if necessary; then add vinegar and pectin, stirring well. Bring the contents of the pot to a full boil, add sugar all at once, and bring to boil that can not be stirred down; boil and stir for 1 minute. Pour into sterilized jars; seal. Makes about 6½ pint jars.
