My first MIL's recipe. Only one I've ever used (including from the Ball book) that consistently turns out perfectly.
1 can hot green peppers
1 ½ c. chopped green pepper
6 ½ c. sugar
1 ½ c. dark cider vinegar
1 bottle liquid Certo (6 oz)
Grind peppers and mix with sugar and vinegar. Bring to a boil and boil for three minutes. Add Certo and boil for one more minute.
Remove from heat and let set 5 minutes. Put into hot sterilized jars and seal. Makes 7 to 8 Mason jelly jars.
Add a few drops of green food coloring if desired.
Serve over an 8 oz. package of cream cheese, surrounded by Triscuit crackers.
