HOME CANNING/ PEPPER JELLY

                        BY MARGARET "ROSIE" RICKETTS MENCER

Ingredients:

1/2 cup white vinegar
2 large green peppers, seeded 
and chopped fine

Put above in blender and liquify

Next:
6 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups white vinegar
1/3 oz. green food coloring
 (or a few drops)
1 tsp. red (hot) pepper sauce

Make a syrup of vinegar and sugar.
Add liquid pepper mixture and boil
for five minutes.  Remove from heat
Add 6 oz. liquid Certo (fruit pectin),
red pepper sauce and the food 
coloring.  

Pour into jelly glasses.  Process for
5 minutes in hot water bath.  Makes
about 6  jelly jars!


Just a tip:  you can use red bell peppers
and red food coloring too!

Special Note from Joanie:  I don't use the food coloring, therefore the color is not as vibrant as Sissy's was. But...it has the color of the natural pepper.  You choose!
