Ingredients

  • 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1.75 oz. package powdered pectin
  • 5 cups sugar
  • 6 8 oz. jars cleaned (lids must be new if canning)

Directions

  1. Finely chop all your peppers and place them in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in vinegar and pectin. Bring mixture to a boil stirring constantly.
  2. Once boiling, add in sugar and stir to combine. Continue stirring as the mixture returns to a rolling boil. Boil for one minute and remove from heat.
  3. Use a funnel if you have one to pour jelly into sterile jars. Be sure to leave at least a finger's width of the room at the top of the jars for expansion. Cover with lids and screw bands. If canning, the lids must be new, never used. Enjoy! 

TIP:  If freezing, let jars cool to room temperature and store them in the freezer for up to six months. When ready to use thaw in the fridge or in a warm water bath.
