Makes 2 cups.

1 green bell pepper
1 cup frozen strawberries or fresh strawberries, mashed
5 jalapeno peppers
3 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup cider vinegar
3 ounces pectin

Sterilize jelly jars and lids according to manufacturer's instructions.

Remove seeds from green pepper and chiles Be very careful with chiles - don't touch your eyes. Some people do this with disposable plastic gloves on.

Fit the steel knife blade into the bowl. Chop green pepper into 1/4-inch pieces. Measure 1/2 cup. Reserve remainder for another purpose.

Chop jalapenos into 1/4 inch pieces. Measure 1/4 cup for jelly.

Place the strawberries, 1/2 cup green pepper and 1/4 cup jalapenos, sugar and vinegar in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Continue to boil 1 minute. Remove from heat; let cool 5 minutes.

Stir in pectin.

If you want to use this as a jelly, then strain mixture through a fine strainer to remove pieces of peppers. OTHERWISE, LEAVE AS IS.

Pour strained liquid into sterilized jars.

Cover tightly and store in a cool place up to 6 months.
