This sweet and sour, moderately spicy pepper sauce, thanks to pectin, transforms into a thick and almost transparent jelly as it cools in the jar. To achieve a vibrant and beautiful color, use bell peppers of various shades. You can adjust the sauce's spiciness by reducing the amount of jalapeño or omitting it entirely, or conversely, by adding chili or another hot pepper. The sauce cooks for only 1 minute after boiling, keeping the small pieces of pepper slightly crunchy.
