RED PEPPER JELLY

9 big red peppers, chopped finely in a blender or food grinder

Allow the ground peppers to drain through a cloth for about 3 hours.

In a non-reactive pan, bring to a boil ~
3 c. white vinegar
4 1/2 c. sugar

Boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the ground peppers and simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring from time to time. The mixture will thicken and reduce.

Pack into jelly jars and process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Makes about 6 - 8 half pint jars.

Serve on a sesame cracker with cream cheese and dollop of jelly. It's one of our family's traditional Christmas treats.
