Red & Green Pepper Jelly

This would make a great Christmas gift..
 
1 cup finely-chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup finely-chopped jalapeño pepper
5 cups white sugar
1-1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
3 oz. liquid pectin, 1 packet, (Can use Certo brand -- comes in a box with 2 pkt.)

      Remove stems, veins and most seeds of the bell and jalapeño peppers.  In a large pot over high heat, combine bell peppers, jalapeños, sugar and vinegar.  Bring to a rolling boil; boil 3 minutes.  Remove from heat, cool 5 minutes.  Stirring constantly, add pectin and let mixture cool 2 minutes.  Now stir 1 minute.  Pour into clean jars to within an inch of top.  Cover tightly, allow to cool at room temperature 24 hours.  Store in refrigerator up to a month, otherwise store in freezer.*
* You can also use traditional water bath method to process jelly for storage.
