Pickled Peppers | Tangy & Crispy | SEE DESCRIPTION FOR CORRECTION

Making pickled peppers is not hard. We share with you how we make tangy, crispy, and crunchy pickled sweet peppers. These are great as a pizza topping, on top of salads, on a sandwich, in taco meat, or straight out of the jar. *CORRECTION* The brine mixture should be: 8 cups white vinegar 8 cups water 2/3 cup salt 1 T. Turmeric I inadvertently stated 4 cups vinegar and 4 cups water. Pickled Peppers Yield: Approximately 8 Pints Ingredients 24 C. Sweet Banana Peppers, washed & sliced into rings 8 C. White Vinegar 8 C. Water 2/3 C. Salt (non-iodized) 1 T. Ground Turmeric 1/2 t. Minced Garlic 1/4 t. Pickle Crisp, Pickle Fresh, or calcium chloride Directions In a large stainless-steel pot or bowl, mix the vinegar, water, salt, and turmeric together. Stir until the salt is completely dissolved. Pack peppers firmly in pint mason jars to about 1/2 inch headspace. Add the minced garlic and pickle crisp on top of the peppers in each jar. Pour the pickling brine over the top of the peppers, garlic, and pickle crisp, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the jar rims with a damp cloth or paper towel. Apply lids and bands, fingertip tight. Process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes (if altitude is greater than 1,000 feet, add 5 minutes). Turn the heat off, remove the canner lid, and wait 5 minutes before removing jars from the canner. Remove jars to a towel and allow to cool for 12-24 hours. Remove rings, wash jars if needed, label, and store in a cool, dark, and dry area.

FAQ: What is the shelf-life of home-canned goods? As long as the lids/seals are intact to the jars and there is no evident content spoilage (discoloration, foam, froth, malodorous, or any other obvious signs), they are good for many months or years. "Looks good, smells good, is good". We have eaten our home-canned foods that are upwards of 10 years old from the original processing date. When in doubt, throw it out. FAQ: What happens if you don't sterilize canning jars before canning? Sterilization of canning jars is not required for safe food preservation if the food item is processed for at least 10 minutes in a water bath or pressure canner. Any harmful microorganisms will be destroyed during the canning process (National Center for Home Food Preservation). It is important to start with clean canning jars. Wash jars in hot soapy water, rinsing well leaving to air dry on a towel. You may also use a dishwasher to wash the jars. Inspect each jar before filling, looking for any cracks or chips to the rim, body, or bottom. Why we store our home canned goods without the bands/rings on the jars: 1. The rings are designed to keep the lid on during the processing and cooling phases of canning. Beyond that, they serve no purpose. The lids/seals are held on by suction, not the bands/rings. 2. If the bands/rings are left on the jars, this could result in a false seal, causing the contents to spoil. 3. Bands/rings eventually rust if left on the jars, making them quite difficult to remove. 4. It's a proper technique and a safety issue. #canning #foodpreservation #homesteading
