Canned Banana Pepper Rings Recipes

HOW TO CAN BANANA PEPPER RINGS

Steps:

• Sterilize canning jars and keep warm. Prepare hot water bath.
• Using gloves, wash and cut off the stems of the peppers. Slice into 1/8-1/4 inch slices.
• Place vinegar, water, and pickling salt in a medium sauce pan and heat until boiling.
• Fill each jar with 1/2 clove of garlic, 1 1/2 tsp. mustard seed (optional) and 3/4 tsp. celery seed (optional). Then add the pepper slices, making sure to leave 1/2" of headspace at the top of the jar.
• Ladle the hot liquid into the jars filling to cover the peppers, maintaining the 1/2" of headspace. Use a plastic utensil to remove any air bubbles, adding more liquid as needed.
• Add lid and finger tighten the ring. Process in hot water bath that is already close to boiling for 10 minutes for half pints or pint jars. * Adjust for altitude as necessary.
• Remove and let cool for 24 hours. Check to make sure the jar is sealed prior to storing. If jars did not seal (the lid bounces up and down), place in refrigerator and use within 2 weeks.

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.

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.
