Ingredients

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons low-sugar dry pectin
• 1 1/4 cups red bell peppers
• 1 cup green bell pepper
• 2 jalapeno peppers, about 1/3 cup
• 2 teaspoons vinegar

Recipe

• 1 wash all peppers, cut off stems.
• 2 remove membrane and seeds from bell peppers, dice small about 1/8 inch pieces, the chunks will stay that size even after running through the jam cycle, cut enough to fill 2 1/4 cups worth.
• 3 protect your hands with rubber gloves while working with the jalapeno peppers, if you want the jam to be spicy hot leave the seeds in the jalapeno peppers. (the first time i made this, i left seeds in one but thought it too hot.) second time i made, i deseeded all halves and it came out too mild -- so next time i plan on cutting both jalapeno peppers in half, leaving seeds in 1/4 and deseeding the remaining 3/4. cut into small pieces, about 1/8 inch.
