Red Pepper Jelly
Ingredients
5 or 6 red bell peppers
1 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup lemon juice
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp chili powder
6 oz liquid pectin
Method
Makes 8 - 8 oz jars
Wash and seed peppers; chop in food processor or grind in blender or meat grinder. Add enough pepper pulp to the vinegar and lemon juice to make 4 cups. Mix in a large pot with sugar, salt and chili powder. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add liquid pectin. Return to heat and boil hard for 1 minute; turn heat down to simmer. Stir and skim off foam for 5 minutes more as mixture boils gently. Pack in hot sterilized 8 oz jars; seal and let cool on counter top.
Notes
This is a really good recipe and of course it is great on crackers with cream cheese.
