I MADE MY FIRST JELL-Y!

WE BE JAMMING!

But before we start jamming, let's get prepare and organize.

PRETTY PURPLE GLOVES TO PREVENT BURNING HANDS

STERILE JELLY CANS

STERILE LIDS SOAKED IN ALREADY BOILED WATER

Jar Bands can be reused and do not need to be sterile.

Jar Lids must be sterile and can only be used once.

1 CUP CHOPPED RED BELL PEPPER

1/2 CUP CHOPPED JALAPENO PEPPER

5 CUPS WHITE SUGAR

1 1/2 CUPS APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

1 (6 FLUID OUNCE) LIQUID PECTIN

DICE SOME JALAPENO PEPPERS AND RED BELL PEPPERS FOR OPTIONAL PEPPER FLOATIES IN THE JELLY

AS FOR THE REST OF THE PEPPERS, USE A FOOD PROCESSOR TO MAKE...

PEPPER MEDLEY BABY FOOD

POUR PEPPER MEDLEY BABY FOOD AND DICED PEPPERS IN A LARGE POT

I made the mistake of using my second largest pot and the jelly overflowed.

ADD SUGAR

ADD VINEGAR

BRING TO A ROLLING BOIL

BOIL FOR 3 MINUTES

REMOVE FROM HEAT AND LET COOL FOR 5 MINUTES

STIRRING CONSTANTLY, ADD PECTIN AND COOL FOR AN ADDITIONAL 2 MINUTES

OPTIONAL STERILIZED TOOLS FOR EASY POURING AND TO MAKE JELLY WITHOUT FLOATIES

YOU MAY EITHER DO

A. POUR JELLY INTO SIFTER/FUNNEL TO MAKE CLEAR JELLY.

OR

B. POUR JELLY STRAIGHT INTO JARS TO INCLUDE FLOATIES.

PUT LIDS AND BANDS ON JARS

CLEAR JELLY

JELLY WITH FLOATIES

THEN YOU ARE DONE!

AFTER COOLING, MAKE SURE LIDS ARE SEALED BY VERIFYING IF THEY POP.

IF THEY DON'T POP, THE LID IS SEALED.

IF THEY DO POP, THE LID ISN'T SEALED.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST...

TASTE TEST!!!

DOESN'T IT LOOK SO NUMMY?
