12 large red sweet peppers, cored and seeded
2 small hot red peppers
3 cups granulated sugar
2 cups white vinegar
1 tbap salt
Instructions
Mince sweet and hot red peppers by pulsing in a food processor. Put minced peppers in a large pot and cover with boiling water; let stand for 15 min. Drain well and return to pot.
Add sugar, vinegar and salt; bring to a boil. Boil until thick, 1 to 1 1/2 hrs. Cool completely. Prepare half-pint (250 mL) jars by washing at hottest temperature in dishwasher. Dry well and keep jars upside down on a clean tray until ready to use.
Using a preserving funnel, pour jam into jars. Place rubber-ringed flat tops and screw bands on jars. Boil in a boiling water canner. Cool, check seals and label.
