Hot Pepper Jam For Bread Machine Recipes

Steps:

• Add ingredients according to the bread machine manufacturer's directions.
• Set your machine on regular basic bread.

Steps:

• Sterilize 6 (8 ounce) canning jars and lids according to manufacturer's instructions. Heat water in a hot water canner.
• Place red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and jalapeno peppers in a large saucepan over high heat. Mix in vinegar and fruit pectin. Stirring constantly, bring mixture to a full rolling boil. Quickly stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil, and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and skim off any foam.
• Quickly ladle jelly into sterile jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the tops. Cover with flat lids, and screw on bands tightly.
• Place jars in rack, and slowly lower jars into canner. The water should cover the jars completely, and should be hot but not boiling. Bring water to a boil, and process for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Wash all peppers, cut off stems.
• 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.
• 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.
• Attach kneading blade in the bread pan.
• Place ingredients into the bread pan as listed above.
• Carefully insert bread pan inot breadmaker, close lid, press the Menu button until the �Jam� program is selected, and start.
• When the Jam cycle is complete, open the lid and using oven mitts, remove the pan.
• Let jam cool.
• Using oven mitts to hold pan, use rubber spatula to pour the jam into a glass or plastic container.
• Cover and refrigerate to set, about 24 hours.
