This makes a great gift. Serve with roast or grilled leg of lamb in lieu of mint
jelly. Spread on sandwiches of spicy ham and tomato. Melt in a small saucepan
and use to glaze grilled chicken or game hens. Serve with grilled or roast pork
or chicken. In a blender or food processor fitted with the steel blade, puree
the peppers. Turn into a medium-size saucepan. Add the vinegar and bring to a
boil. Reduce the heat and simmer 5 minutes. Cool, then strain juice through a
strainer lined with two layers of cheesecloth. Squeeze to extract all the
juices. Discard the solids. Add the sugar to the juice and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer 10 minutes. Add the pectin and boil 1 minute. Pour
into clean sterilized jars and process according to manufacturer's directions.
Store in a cool dry place. Once opened, store the jelly in the refrigerator.
