--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4      medium        red jalapeno peppers
                        --(up to 6 peppers)
     3/4  cup           red bell pepper -- chopped
   6      cups          sugar
   2 1/2  cups          cider vinegar
   2      packages      liquid pectin (3 oz. each)

1) Remove most of the seeds from the jalapeno peppers and chop 
coarsely. You should have 1/4 cup.  In a blender or food processor, 
whirl all of the peppers until finely ground. Place ground vegetables 
and any juice in a heavy-bottomed 8 to 10 quart pan. Stir in sugar 
and vinegar until well blended.
2) Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. 
Stir in pectin all at once. Return to a full rolling boil; then boil, 
stirring for 1 minute. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
3) Ladle hot jelly into hot, sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4" 
headspace. Wipe rims and threads clean; top with hot lids, then 
firmly screw on bands. Process in boiling water canner for 5 minutes.

peppers but it doesn't look as nice. You can also use paraffin 
instead of processing in boiling water. Use jam within one year of 
canning.
