Combine the peppers (leave seeds in for more spicy hotness or remove part or all for less), sugar, vinegar and lemon juice in a large saucepan over medium heat. Heat until warm and sugar is dissolved.

Pour the mixture into a blender and blend for 5 seconds. Return the blended mixture to the saucepan and bring to a boil.

Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.

Decrease the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.

Stir in the pectin, and increase heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil.

* You may substitute some bell peppers in place of jalapeno's for less heat.

Makes approximately 6 pints. Store in cool, dark area for up to 1 year.

Jam is served in photo with cream cheese and lahvosh crackers.. Also good with fresh mozzarella.
