CANNING HOT BANANA PEPPERS

Steps:

• Use gloves when handling hot peppers.
• Sterilize four quart jars, lids and rings in boiling water.
• Taking one jar at a time, place as many peppers as you can into the jar.
• Mix the vinegar, salt and water together until dissolved in a sauce pan . Bring just up to a boil but do not boil and pour over peppers.
• Run a spatula or butter knife around the edges of the jars and press peppers to get all the air bubbles out.
• Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth, place lids and screw bands on fingertip tight.
• Place in boiling water bath five minutes (no more or they will be soggy).
• After 5 minutes take out and set jars on a cloth-protected counter to cool (the lids will make a snapping sound).
• The ones that do not snap after the jars are cooled, store in fridge as you cannot put in water bather the second time.

CANNED BANANA PEPPER RINGS

Steps:

• 1.Prepare jars. I chose to just wash my jars in hot soapy water. I turned my oven on to 175 to put the jars in to keep them warm after washing.
• 2.Wash whole banana peppers to remove any dirt. Remove tops from peppers and cut peppers into rings. I cut my rings sort of thick, but you can cut them as thick or thin as you want. Also, de-seed if you choose to de-seed your banana peppers.
• 3.In a large pot, combine 7 cups of water and 7 cups of white vinegar. Heat on high until boiling.
• 4.At the same time, in a small pot, place jar lids and boil.
• 5.Once the jars and lids are boiling, turn on low heat.
• 6.Add 1 clove of garlic to empty jar, then pack banana pepper rings tightly into the jar. Add 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoons alum to the peppers. Pour hot vinegar-water mixture over the peppers. Immediately put on lid and ring to seal.
• 7.Repeat with remaining peppers and jars.
• Once the jars start to cool, they will seal.

• **This is an heirloom recipe that uses a method no longer recommended by the USDA/NCHFP (National Center for Home Food Preservation). Current guidelines recommend processing in a boiling water bath at least 10 minutes at sea level to 1000 feet in elevation (more time at higher elevations) and left to cool, upright and undisturbed, on a cloth-protected counter for 24 hours. Check for seal; if the jar hasn't sealed, either re-process the jars within the 24 hours or refrigerate and use first.
