Red or Green Pepper Jelly

At the request of @muddybootsblog on Twitter, here is my recipe for Red Pepper Jelly.  Far better than store bought.


Red or Green Pepper Jelly

5 cups granulated sugar
2 cups finely chopped or pureed sweet green or red peppers
1 1/2 cups white vinegar (I used cider vinegar)
1 bottle (6 oz/170 ml) liquid pectin

In large saucepan, combine sugar, green or red peppers and vinegar.
Stir and bring to full rolling boil.
Boil over medium-high heat for 15 minutes, skimming off foam.
Remove from heat and blend in pectin. Stir for 2 minutes.
Pour into sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
Seal with paraffin wax.
Cover with lids.
Makes about 6 cups.
