Original Recipe Yield 6 (1/2 pint) jars
 

Ingredients

  • 3 green bell peppers, seeded and finely chopped
  • 2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chile peppers, drained
  • 1 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar
  • 6 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 (6 fluid ounce) container liquid fruit pectin
  • 5 drops green food coloring (optional)

Directions

  1. Combine the bell peppers, chile peppers, vinegar, sugar, and cayenne pepper in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. When the mixture comes to a rolling boil that cannot be stirred down, stir in the pectin. Cook for 5 more minutes at a boil, then remove from the heat. Stir in the green food coloring, if desired.
  2. Ladle jelly into hot sterile jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 5 to 10 minutes to ensure a good seal.

Too sweet, but the flavor was amazing. I will add a cup less of sugar next time. It was yummy!
