Native-American Recipes :: Native-American Preserves and Condiments
Ingredients:
Yield: 48 Ounces
1 tbl Chopped Serrano chilies
1 cup Diced Anaheim chilies
1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
1 1/4 cups Red wine vinegar
5 cups Sugar
6 oz Liquid pectin OR1 pk Powdered pectin (1 3/4 oz)
Preparation:
Combine the chilies and pepper with the vinegar in a food processor. Process 3 minutes until pureed. Put the puree and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat, skim the foam from the top, discard, and add the pectin. Return to the heat and bring again to a hard boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and stir constantly for 5 minutes.
As it cools the jelly will begin to thicken. Pour it into clean, sterilized 8-ounce jars, leaving a 1/4 inch space at the top. Seal as desired. Chile Pepper Jelly is one way of preserving chilies - and it makes a delicious condiment at any meal.
