Jalapeno Pepper Jelly Recipe

Seed and grind the peppers in food processor or blender. Combine with lemon juice, vinegar and sugar in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil and boil, stirring constantly, for about 15 minutes.

Add the pectin and boil for 3 to 5 minutes more.

Remove from heat and add the green food coloring if you wish, a few drops at a time to make the jelly a bright green. Cool slightly, stirring occasionally, and spoon into sterilized jars. Seal immediately with paraffin and store in a cool, dark place.
