Banana Pepper Rings Recipes

Steps:

• Sterilize 2- 1/2 pint jars.
• Bring the vinegar, sugar, mustard seed and celery seed to a rolling boil.
• Place peppers in the 1/2 pint jars.
• Pour on the hot pickling juice and bring liquid to within 1/2" of the top.
• Be sure the edge of the jar has no juice on it.
• Place lids and screw on bands finger-tip tight.
• Seal jar and leave for 2 weeks.**.
• **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.

Steps:

• place pepper rings packed tightly in jars, add garlic, divide alum between quart jars.
• In large pan put one quart vinegar, 2 quarts water, salt to taste and 1/4 cup sugar.
• Bring this mixture to boil.
• Boil flats in water.
• Pour boiling mixture over pepper rings in jar, put on flats and rings.
• Let cool and check to make sure they seal.

• Pack in jars.
• Boil vinegar, sugar, salt, alum, and turmeric.
• Should be enough liquid for 2 pints.
• Pour vinegar mixture over peppers in jars.
• Seal with lids and screw rings.
• *myfirst ones were mushy, second batch was ok**i used green chiles and jalapenos*.

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.
