Jalapeno Jelly - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 large jalapenos
    1/2 small green pepper, seeded and stem removed
    3 cups granulated sugar
    1 1/4 cups cider vinegar
    1 (85 ml) packet liquid pectin
Preparation
    Remove stems and some of the seeds from the jalapeno peppers, or leave all the seeds for a hotter jelly.
    Coarsely chop jalapenos and sweet pepper.
    Place in a blender and process to a fine mince.
    Combine the minced peppers, sugar and vinegar in a large stainless or enamel saucepan.
    Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
    Stir in pectin all at once, return to a full boil and boil hard, stirring for 1 minute exactly.
    Remove from heat.
    Stir for 5 minutes, skimming foam as you need to.
    Pour jelly into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space.
    The jelly will be VERY liquid at this stage.
    Wipe rims and seal tightly.
    Leave at room temp overnight.
    Refrigerate for up to 1 month or freeze up to 1 year.
