   3 green peppers ( seeds removed and ground up)
   3 red peppers ( seeds removed and ground up)
   
   Cook for about 35 minutes.
   
   Afterwards fill up your quart jars or pint jars, that have been sterilized using very hot water.
   
   Be sure your jars have sealed the next day, they should seal properly
   within like 20 miuntes to a few hours;
   If you find a jar not sealed the next day just put that jar in
   your refrigerator and use it right away.
   It will of course keep for several weeks in your ref.
   
   This dish will complete most meals, sandwiches, it has so many uses;

   and its just not that hard to do right?
   
   Enjoy!!!
