Delicious Red Pepper Jelly ### Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups finely chopped sweet red bell peppers
1/2 cup finely chopped hot red peppers (like jalapeños, seeds removed for less heat)
1 cup white vinegar
1 package (1.75 oz) fruit pectin (like Sure-Jell)
5 cups granulated sugar

Instructions:

Prepare the jars: Begin by sterilizing your canning jars and lids. Place them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes and then let them air dry.
Chop the peppers: Finely chop both the sweet and hot red peppers. The smaller the pieces, the better the texture of your jelly.
Cook the mixture: In a large pot, combine the chopped bell peppers, vinegar, and fruit pectin. Bring this to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Add sugar: Once boiling, add all the granulated sugar at once. Stir constantly until the mixture returns to a rolling boil. Allow it to boil for exactly 1 minute.
Test for readiness: To check if the jelly has reached the right consistency, you can do a plate test by placing a small spoonful of the mixture on a chilled plate. If it holds its shape when you run your finger through it, it’s ready!
Fill the jars: Carefully ladle the hot jelly into your prepared jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth to remove any residue.
Seal the jars: Place the sterilized lids on the jars and screw on the metal bands until they are fingertip tight.
Process the jars: Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10-15 minutes to ensure they are sealed correctly. Make sure the water covers the tops of the jars.
Cool and store: Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool on a clean towel or wire rack. Once cooled, check the seals before storing them in a cool, dark place.

Now you have your very own batch of Red Pepper Jelly! Enjoy this delicious treat with your favorite crackers, or use it as a glaze for meats. It’s sure to be a hit at any gathering.
