RED PEPPER JELLY 6-8 RED PEPPERS, to make 1 cup juice(see below) 3 cups SUGAR 1/2 cup VINEGAR 2-3 drops TABASCO red food coloring, if desired. 1 pouch LIQUID CERTO Add juice, vinegar, sugar, tabasco, coloring. Bring to boil. Add Certo, boil hard 1 minute. Pour into jars. Process 10 minutes. To extract juice: chop peppers into a fine dice and place in a strainer over a bowl overnight. Press peppers to squish the juice out in the morning. Or, use a juicer if you have one, although it makes the juice cloudy. I sure don’t care if it’s cloudy.
