Pickling Peppers??????

[BrianL]

With all the garden talk, I thought I would ask if anyone had a good way to pickle jalapeno peppers. I just got to taste what I pickled a couple of weeks ago, and well, not that good. They are too mushy and lack much flavor. I have more banana and jalapeno peppers than I can eat fresh, so I need to find a good way to can.

What I did on the last batch was:

Slice peppers
Place in boiling water for 3 minutes
Pack peppers in pint jar with 1 tbs vinager, 1/2 tsp pickling salt, 1 tsp sugar
Fill to the top with liquid from boiling.
Water bath 10 minutes.

Result- mushy bland jalapenos!

PICKLED JALAPENOS
The jalapeno is a hot green pepper native of warm climates. it makes a delicious relish pickled in olive oil and vinegar.
Wash jalapeno peppers. Pack tightly in jar. For every cup of vinegar, use 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pickling spices. Heat mixture to boiling. Pour over peppers so that they are well covered. Seal jars. Process 10 minutes in hot water bath.

You don't put them in boiling water. Fill your jar with the peppers, boil your vinegar and pour the hot vinegar over the peppers. You can use these for years by just adding hot vinegar!!

I do what Red Dot does and been working for years. Cut peppers, cram em in the jar, tablespoon of salt, cover with boiling vinegar and done.

I never even heated my vinegar. I just put them in a jar, fill with vinegar, leaving room at the top for a couple of tbs of olive oil. Taste good, last long time!

Looks like the old red and white plaid cookbook doesn't list near enough vinegar! I'll try it again tonight without blanching, more vinegar, and oil. Thanks

What is the hot water bath?

Too sealthe jar.
Sugar? never herd of that. I like to cut up some onions with them. Garlic is good too.

Here's something a little differest, called Candied Jalepenos.

Slice up a bunch of peppers in a quart jar and cover the top of them with sugar. Close the jar up and turn it over once a day for 3-4 days. Then eat.

Kinda different. Sweet and hot at the same time.

Ask Peter Piper - I heard he recently picked a rather large quantity of them. An entire peck if I remember correctly.

Seems the peck he picked was already pickled though.

If I remember right he picked a peck of pickled peppers..... Maybe he was picking them from the shelf in the pantry?

On my peppers I do them spanish style.

Tablespoon olive oil
teaspoon oregano
Peppers
Carrot Slices
Onion Slices
50 grain Vinegar


Place all the ingredients in the jar and fill to the top with 50 grain 5% acidity vinegar.

Place lid on jar put in 350 degree oven until peppers turn to a dull green.
