Default Tomatillo question

That is a ton of sugar, but not the same as the one I used - it also calls
for a lot of sugar, but I think called for more green peppers. I'll print it
off and put it in my recipe book and give it a shot. Thanks!

Jalapeno Jam Jelly and Preserves Recipes

Ingredients:
3 medium green peppers
2 jalapeno peppers (2- inch size)
1 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
6 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6 ounces Certo liquid pectin
lots green food coloring or red.


Directions:

Seed and coarsely chop green peppers. Seed and chop jalapeno peppers
wearing rubber gloves. Combine peppers in food processor and puree. Add 1
cup vinegar and blend thoroughly. Transfer to deep saucepan and add
remaining vinegar, sugar and cayenne pepper, blending well. Bring to a
full rolling boil, stirring frequently. Stir in pectin and continue to
boil one minute longer, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim off
foam. Pour into sterilized jars to seal.

NOTES : It is important to make sure that the peppers are about medium in
size and only 3 are used. To many peppers will add to much liquid and the
jelly will not set.

This recipe for Jalapeno Jelly serves/makes 6 half-pints.

I don't right now. I made it once and never again. Nobody liked it but me.
I think I called the company that makes the pectic and got it from them. I
will look online for you.

I did last year, but I didn't like it. Do you have a good recipe that you
would like to share? I made it years ago and it was quite good, I just
don't care for the recipe I used last time.

Have you made Jalapeno Jelly? It is wonderful with bagels and cream
cheese.
