Hot Pepper Jelly

---

This is my signature jelly. I make it for everyone and every occasion. I have even made some and tinted purple for dreamgoddess' daughters wedding. It is very easy and can be made as hot or as mild as you want. For really hot i use 4 habarnero peppers, for milder, use in the amount called for in recipe using your preference in peppers. I just throw the peppers in the blender in large chunks with the vinegar and let the blender to the chopping for me.

Steps

---

Chop peppers and put in blender with vinegar.

---

Blend well and pour into large boiler.

---

Add sugar and mix well.

---

Bring mixture to a rolling boil and boil for 1 minute.

---

Remove from heat , strain through sieve and return liquid back to a boil.

---

Boil for 5 minutes.

---

Remove from heat.

---

Add certo and food coloring quickly.

---

Put into 6 jars and seal.

---

I use heated seal method , where i heat the lids in boiling water , place on jar , secure ring tightly and turn jar upside down for 5 minutes.

---

Turn jar up correctly and allow to cool completely before storing.

---

Newer studies show that it is safer to seal with the hot water bath method.

---

To do this , put into a large boiler with rack on bottom , cover with 1-2 inches of water and boil for 5 minutes.

---

Remove to rack to cool.
