......iv been canning for all of two weeks. Sorry for wanting to ask questions. Occationly we wonder of something is ok. Or if something works a certain way. Why spend hours pouring over recipe books and articles when you can just Ask? I know your not all experts. But you probably know...

So I have this recipe for this pepper jelly I make. I think it's ok to can but wanted to check with everyone here and see what you think? 2 cups red and green sweet pepper 1/2 cup spicy banana pepper 1/2 cup rhubarb 1 cup apple cider vinegar 3 cups sugar 5 tablespoons pectin It's a twist...
