Ingredients

2 large red bell peppers

1 large green bell pepper

4 large jalapeno or serrano peppers

1/2 small onion, finely chopped

2 teaspoons salt, divided

1 1/2 cups red wine vinegar

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

5 cups granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon butter or margarine

2 pouches fruit pectin

2 1/2 teaspoons whole cumin seeds, toasted

Directions

Boil six 1/2-pint canning jars for at least 15 minutes.

Place flat lids in saucepan with water and bring to a boil.

Drain well before filling.

Stem and halve all peppers, discard seeds and finely chop the peppers.

Measure 3 cups into a colander.

Add onion and 1 teaspoon of the salt.

Let drain for 3 hours, pressing to extract as much moisture as possible.

Place pepper mix in a 6- or 8-quart saucepot.

Add vinegar, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of salt, chili powder and crushed pepper.

Measure sugar in a separate bowl.

Scrape excess sugar from cup with a spatula to level for exact measure.

Mix sugar thoroughly into peppers in sauce pot.

Add butter and bring this mixture to a full rolling boil on high heat, stirring constantly.

Reduce heat to medium low and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in fruit pectin and return to a full rolling boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and stir in cumin seeds.

Skim any foam with a metal spoon.

Ladle quickly into prepared jars, filling to within 1/3-inch of the top. Wipe jar rims and threads.

Cover with two-piece lids and screw bands tightly.

Invert jars for 5 minutes and turn upright.

Makes about 6, 1 cup jars.
