Jalapeno Jelly - Deeni

Notes: 1 cup = 2 seven ounce cans whole jalapenos; 1 cup = 3 green peppers
This is great poured over cream cheese and served with crackers.

1 cup green peppers seeded
1 cup canned jalapenos seeded
6.5 cups sugar
1.5 cups white vinegar
1 bottle or package of Certo

Dice green peppers and jalapeno as fine as possible or use food processor. Put all ingredients except Certo into a large pot and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Remove pot from heat and pour in Certo. Continue to stir mixture with a wooden spoon until it obviously begins to thicken, about 15-20 minutes. It is esstial to keep stirring the mixture to prevent it from forming a "tough skin" on the top. Pour into sterilized jelly jars and seal with a screw cap - do not use paraffin. You may add a little green food coloring for color. Refrigerate.
