Number Of Ingredients 11

8 c zucchini (peeled, seeded and shredded) (2 very large)
1 c red bell pepper (seeded) (minced) (1 large)
1 c green bell pepper (seeded) (minced) (1 large)
15 large jalapeno peppers (minced) (about 2 cups) (only stems are removed)

8 c sugar

3 pkg raspberry jell-o (small boxes)
3 pkg sure jell

Steps:

  • 1. Put all but last two ingredients into large stainless steel pot. Cook on medium-high heat for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. It will thicken as liquid evaporates.
  • 2. Add the 3 Jell-O packages. Continue cooking and stirring constantly bring to a boil that can't be stirred down for 10 minutes. *** Sometimes I add Black Raspberry Jell-O instead of raspberry, this is to get a darker jam.
  • 3. Add the 3 Sure Jell. Stir constantly for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • 4. Put in sterilized jars to 1/4 inch headspace. Remove any scum and air bubbles. Wipe rims. Place lids and rings to fingertip tight.
  • 5. Put jars in boiling water bath and process for 20 minutes with canner lid on. Remove lid. Wait 5 minutes.
  • 6. Remove jars from canner to a towel lined surface. Let sit and cool 24 hours before storing. Make sure jars are sealed.
