Steps:

• Combine the green bell pepper and 12 jalapeno peppers in the container of a food processor or blender. Process until finely chopped. This can be done in batches, if the peppers do not fit.
• Transfer the peppers to a large saucepan, and stir in the cider vinegar. Bring to a boil, and let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain the mixture through at least 2 layers of cheesecloth, and discard pulp. You should have about 1 cup of liquid.
• Return the liquid to the saucepan, and stir in the salt and sugar until dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the mixture comes to a rolling boil (one that cannot be stirred down), boil for one minute, then stir in the liquid pectin.
• Stir in the remaining jalapeno peppers, and ladle into sterile jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Seal jars in a hot water bath. Refrigerate jelly after seal is broken.

Steps:

• 1. In a large pan bring sugar and vinegar to a boil. Stir in diced peppers and red pepper flakes. Boil and stir for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in pectin and raspberries. place back on heat and bring back to a rolling boil. Boil and stir for 5 minutes.
• 2. Remove from heat and fill hot jars 1/4 inch from top. put on hot lid Hot water bath for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Combine peppers, raspberries, sugar and vinegar in pot and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• 2. Simmer 10 minutes
• 3. Wisk in pectin, bring to hard boil until thickens slightly (when spoon dipped in and is pulled out jam should drip in sheet rather than drops)
• 4. Remove from heat and sit for 10 minutes
• 5. Ladle into the 8 oz mason type jars (sterilized) and process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes to seal. If you do not like chunks, strain before putting in jars.

Steps:

• 1. Puree peppers with some of the apple cider vinegar. I keep the seeds in the peppers. You can seed for less heat. Add to a 4 c. measuring cup with remaining cider vinegar. Crush berries and add to 4 c. measuring cup to equal 4 cups. ** you can tweek this to taste. My children do not like it very warm, so I'll cut back on the peppers, and add more berries. Just have four cups of produce/vinegar to add to pot with sugar.
• 2. Add sugar to 8 quart pot. Add jalapenos, berries & vinegar to sugar. Cook to full, hard boil where you can't stir it down. Boil for ten minutes.
• 3. Add one packet of fruit pectin to hot jam. Stir and boil for one more minute. Remove from heat. Most jalapeno recipes suggest 2 packets. I have made it both ways, and have no problem making it with one packet. I can make more batches using just one.
• 4. Fill clean jars and seal with warm canning lids and rings as you normally would when making jam. I also turn the ring back just a bit and turn jars upside down for 30-40 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Sterilizing your jars and rings, there are many ways to do this, here is a selection you can choose from, I do mine in the dishwasher ! Much faster! Dishwasher Method This method is great if you're short on time. Wash the jars in the dishwasher and then simply leave them there until ready to fill. Keeping the door to the dishwasher closed keeps in the steam and heat. Remove the jars a couple at a time as needed. Stove Top Method 1.Place your jars in a canner right side up. 2.Then, fill the canner with water, stopping an inch above the jars. 3.Bring the water to a boil and continue boiling for 10 minutes. 4.Reduce the heat and keep the jars in the hot water until you're ready to fill them. Tips: If you live above 1,000 feet in altitude, add one minute of boiling time for each 1,000 foot increase in elevation. Oven Method 1.Preheat your oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure to adjust the oven racks to accommodate the jar's height. 2.Arrange your jars, lids, and bands on the cookie sheets. Leave space between them for the hot air to circulate. If you're reusing Mason jars from previous years, remove the lids and bands from those jars so that everything is open and separated before you put your equipment in the oven. 3.Place the cookie sheets with your jars, lids, and bands on them in your preheated oven. Set a timer for 10 minutes, and do not remove anything or open the oven door before these 10 minutes have elapsed. If more than 10 minutes elapses, that's OK, but 10 minutes at that temperature is all you need. 4.Turn the oven off and leave the jars, lids, and bands in the oven to keep them warm until you're ready to use them for canning. Although 225 degrees is a comparatively low oven temperature, always use oven mitts or thick hand towels to handle anything you take out of your oven.
