Notes
*To prepare peppers, cut in half and discard seeds and stems. Cut into small pieces or chop with food processor.
Note: there are many combinations of peppers that produce different colors, flavors, and heat. A typical combination is 2 1/2 Cups prepared bell peppers and 1/2 Cup prepared jalapeño pepper. A few drops of food coloring may be added if a deeper color is desired.
