MILD RED PEPPER JELLY

Steps:

• Prepare the peppers by deseeding, cuting away the membranes and pass them in a food processor or through a food mill.
• Put the grounded peppers in a bowl, add the coarse salt and let stand for 4 hours at room temperature.
• After that time, rince thoroughly under cold water. Drain well.
• In a dutch oven, put the peppers and the rest of the ingredients and bring to boil, then lower the heat to medium so that the preparation cooks with small bubbles; cook 30 minutes counting from the time it started to boil, stirring occasionally. The color will be a wonderful dark red and the peppers will be slightly transparent.
• Pour boiling in your sterilized jars and close the lids.
• Count the "pocs" of the jars to be sure that they are well sealed.
• Wait until the jelly is cooled down before eating.
