I tried this recipe yesterday. Very tasty. I especially if you love spicy hot spreads. I make a jalapeno jelly that tastes similar but this relish has a nice crunch.
Hot Pepper Relish
from the pkg insert in SureJell for Lower Sugar Recipes Fruit Pectin
2 green peppers
2 red peppers
10 fresh jalapeno peppers
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
3 cups of sugar
1 pkg of SureJell for Lower Sugar Fruit Pectin
Remove stems; seed and finely chop all peppers.
After chopping, should have 1 1/2 cups each of green and red peppers
and 1 cup of jalapeno peppers
(I used what peppers I had on hand and just made sure
I ended up with 4 cups of finely chopped peppers)
To the pepper mixture, add the cider vinegar and water.
Mix 1/4 cup of the measured sugar with the pectin and add it to the
mixture
Bring mixture to full rolling boil (one that cannot be stirred down)
over high heat, stirring constantly.
Quickly stir in remaining sugar. Return to a full rolling boil and
boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Remove immediately from heat. Skim foam
Immediately fill jars and seal as directed.
Boiling Water Bath for 10 minutes.
Yield 6 cups (I got 5 1/2 half pints from one recipe)
