I filled the jars with peppers, then filled them half way up with white vinegar.
I then added 1.5 heaping table spoons of canning salt per pint and filled it the rest of the way with hot water. put the lid on ASAP and shake.
I like cold packing because the peppers stay crispy and not mushy. With the hot water it will seal as long as you get the lid on fast. I then keep them in my refrigerator I like them cold so it works.

So you can do that without having to "air seal" the containers they're in? I'm going to have a bunch of jalapenos and banana's, but someone told me if I am to store them, they'll need to be in air sealed containers.IndyGerdener wrote:I filled the jars with peppers, then filled them half way up with white vinegar.

Very nice I am jealous as all get out. I can't seem to buy a pepper this year. I could take up my 10 plants and grind them all up plant, roots and what joke of tiny peppers there may be. and they might fit in your one big jar, maybe there would be a little left but I'm thinking not.
At least my tomatoes are keeping me busy, every few day's I HAVE to pick.
Keep it up.

I made pepper jelly last year - it was/is fantastic! The only problem was that I used powdered pectin in a recipe that called for liquid pectin. I didn't realize there was a difference, so it didn't turn out very jelly-y - it was more of a honeyish consistency. Still tastes great, though!applestar wrote:Looking great!
I'm not quite such a fan of pickled peppers though I like them occasionally, so when I grew a lot of hot peppers a couple of years ago, I also made hot pepper jelly and loved it.
