Red Pepper Jelly Recipe
I don't like peppers much so I didn't think I would like this red pepper jelly recipe but it is fabulous! This version calls for sweet peppers but use hot if you prefer.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sweet red peppers, ground
- 5 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup vinegar
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1 bottle pectin
- paraffin wax for sealing the jars
Instructions
- Wash the peppers, removing the tongue, seeds and stems. Finely grind the peppers in a food processor or chop the peppers, then measure the pulp and juice.
- Place the peppers, sugar and vinegar in a kettle. Heat rapidly to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and add the pectin. Skim and stir occasionally for 5 minutes. Pour into glasses and cover with melted paraffin wax.
- Let stand for 2 weeks before using.
