Receta Food Gifts #1~ Mema's Pepper Jelly
Hot Pepper Jelly has long been a staple at holiday celebrations at my Mema's house for as long as I can remember. What is so funny to me is I don't even really care for pappers! But this luminecent green jelly poured over cream cheese and served with butter crackers is just yummy! This is a great stand-by if you have unexpected guest. There are a few things you may want to consider before making this:
1. It is EASY!!
2. Your family & possibly the neighbors may think you are whipping up Mustard Gas as the oder of boiling vinegar will knock you out!
3. It makes quit A LOT! I made mine in 4 oz mason jars and filled almost a dozen.
- 3/4 c green peppers, pureed in food processor 3-5 peppers
- 1/4 c hot pepper, pureed
- 2 c cider vinegar
- 5 c sugar
- 6 oz liquid fruit pectin
Blitz peppers in food processor. Add all ingredients except pectin,bring to a rolling boil, remove from heat and let stand 5 mins, all the "gunk" will rise to top, skim off and discard. Add pectin, mix well and add to hot jars. Delish!!
