Jam Hot Pepper

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups finely chopped red bell peppers1 1/4 cups finely chopped green bell peppers

1/4 cup finely chopped jalapeno peppers

2 tsp hot chili pepper flakes

1.5 cup white vinegar

1 (1.75 ounce) package powdered pectin

5 cups white sugar

Directions

Stir the vinegar and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat until the sugar has dissolved
Stir in the pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer 5 minutes.
Pour in the pectin, and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Skim and discard any foam from the jelly.
Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
Pour the jelly into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 5 minutes.
Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).
