Guest guest Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 paula, what I do is pickle them. I might have posted the recipe here, here it is reposted just in case; I find it easy to use them as pickled peppers, in pizza, salads, etc. Peppers are a low acid food, so one would need to use a pressure canner to can safely, unless you pickle them. Pickled peppers 5 cups Cider vinegar (5% vinegar) 1 cups water 10 garlic cloves, peeled and halved 5-6 bay leaves 2 tbsp picking salt (kosher will work) 2 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp coriander seeds Peppers (I used a mix of hot peppers: tabascos, wax, cayenne, jalapenos, pequin, thai, serranos) Carrots (optional but they go nicely with jalapenos) Put vinegar and spices in a pot and bring it to boil. Blanch or steam (very lightly) peppers and carrots. Put the peppers and carrots in 2 quart jars and (while still hot) pour the hot vinegar solution. I like to include the garlic, bay leaves and some coriander seeds in the jars, it looks pretty. Cover and let it cool down to room temperature. Refrigerate and wait a couple of days for the pickles to be `done'. If you are going to store them outside the fridge then process with a boiling water bath (we did 15 minutes) in sterilized hot canning jars.
