Here's a recipe to make Pepper Jelly. The color of this jelly lends itself to Christmas gift giving. Put a ribbon around the mason/ball jar and a pretty label and you have yourself a unique Christmas gift idea.
Ingredients
14 red or green peppers, cleaned and cored
1/2 cup hot peppers
6 1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 Certo
red or green food coloring
Directions
In a blender or food processor grind peppers until smooth. Pour into a large pot. Add sugar and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a boil and let boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add Certo. Return to low heat for one more minute. Add a few drops of food coloring. Cool slightly.
Pour liquid into cleaned cool glass jars. Screw the lids onto
the jars and turn jars upside down to cool. The jelly will set and
the jars will seal. Not only is this nice to keep handy for entertaining, but it makes a lovely gift anytime.
