Hot Pepper Jelly

For the last month or so I have been getting the "warnings" from the family, that "we are almost out of Mama's Special Hot Sauce".

Mama's Special Hot Sauce aka Hot Pepper Jelly is a favourite around our dinner table and comes out of the fridge almost every night.

Whipped up a new batch last night.  Unlike in previous years, I used powered pectin as I only had one package of the liquid left and couldn't find more at the store.

Here is the recipe:

• 8 cups finely chopped red bell peppers (I run them through the food processor
• 20 hot red jalapeno peppers, chopped (used peppers from Ean's crop grown with love in pots on our front porch)
• 2 cups vinegar
• 2 packages certo pectin
• 10 cups (yikes) sugar

Sterilize canning jars and lids.  Mix peppers, hot peppers, and vinegar in large saucepan on high heat. Add pectin.  Stir constantly and bring to a full boil. Add sugar and bring to boil again.  Boil for 1 minute, keep stirring. Remove from heat and laddle into hot jars.  Close jars and wait for the pop when the vaccum builds.

Yummy!
