A while back someone requested a recipe for jalapeno jelly.  I've never tried
this one, but here it is.  Sorry it took so long, but I had to dig up the
recipe.  This makes 3 pints.


			Jalapeno Jelly

6 1/2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups vinegar
1/2 cup seeded and shredded fresh jalapeno peppers
1 green bell pepper, shredded
red or green food coloring
6 oz. liquid pectin
8 oz. paraffin

Bring sugar and vinegar to slow boil.  When sugar is dissolved, add peppers.
Cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add a few drops of food coloring and the
liquid pectin.  Strain.  Pour into sterilized pint jars.  Pour paraffin on top.
