-------- ------------ --------------------------------
7 green bell pepper
1 jalapeno
1 1/2 cups vinegar
1 1/2 cups apple juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 cups sugar
1 package powdered pectin
Wash peppers; remove stems and seeds and cut into 1/2 inch squares. Puree
half of peppers and 3/4 cup vinegar in blender or food processor. Puree
remaining peppers and vinegar. Pour into a large bowl and add apple juice.
Cover & refrigerate over night.
Strain pureed mixture through several thicknesses of damp cheesecloth.
Measure 4 cups juice into a large sauce pot. If necessary, add water to

Boil hard for 1 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam
if necessary. (Add food coloring, if desired.) Pour hot into hot,
sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headroom. Adjust caps. Process 5

NOTES : This will make a very mild product & the jalapeno flavor will be
nearly indetectable. Change the peppers to 8 jalapenos & 1-2 bell peppers
for more jalapeno flavor. (It's the pepper juice being used, anyway.)
