This month the letters of the Alphabet are G-F. I have decided on the letter G. G for Green Pepper Jelly! I have made this jelly many times. It is a nice jelly to put on sandwiches, crackers or served with cream cheese and crackers.
- Green Pepper Jelly~
- 7 sweet green peppers
- 1 jalapeno pepper
- 1-1/2 cups cider vinegar, divided
- 1-1/2 cups apple juice
- 6 T Ball Classic Pectin
- 1/2 t salt
- 5 cups sugar
- green food coloring, optional
To Prepare Juice: Wash peppers; remove stems and seeds. Cut peppers into 1/2-inch pieces. Puree half the peppers and 3/4 cup vinegar in a food processor or blender. Puree remaining peppers and vinegar. Combine puree and apple juice in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Strain pureed mixture through a damp jelly bag or several layers of cheesecloth. Measure 4 cups juice. Add additional apple juice to make 4 cups, if needed.
To Make Jelly: Combine juice, classic pectin and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Add sugar, stirring until dissolved. Return to a rolling boil. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off foam if necessary. Stir in a few drops of food coloring, if desired. Ladle hot jelly into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Adjust two-piece caps. Process 10 minutes in a boiling water canner.
Note: When cutting or seeding hot peppers, wear rubber gloves to prevent hands from being burned.
Yeild: about 6 half-pint jars.
