    Summary

    Serve this Sweet Pepper Jelly over a brick of cream cheese with crackers on the side. It makes a beautiful appetizer and gift for the Holiday Season!

    Ingredients

    3/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper

    3/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper

    1 1/2 cup white vinegar

    6 1/2 cups white sugar

    2 packets liquid pectin (6 tablespoons)

    3 Pint Sized canning jars - sterilized (or 6-7 Half Pint Sized canning jars)

    Instructions

    Combine the first 4 ingredients in a large stainless steel sauce pan (make sure to use one with high sides because it will rise and you don't want it to boil over).
    Bring mixture to a boil, and boil for 6 minutes, stirring constantly.
    Add the pectin and continue boiling and stirring for an additional 3 minutes.
    Remove from heat and skim off (and discard) and foam on top with a spoon. Ladle the jelly into the prepared jars. Wipe off the rims and apply the lids.
    Place the jars in a large pot of water and bring to a boil for 5-10 minutes. Carefully remove from water and let cool. Jars can be stored at room temperature. Once opened, store in refrigerator.
