I was adding the oil at the end to top the jar off. Maybe I'm adding too much, but it definitely not to my liking.
Yeah, everybody's taste buds are different.... I remember one year i experimented and made a bunch of different jellies out of wine... Everyone thought it tasted horrible but i loved it.
I cut the stems off with scissors. Then cut a slice in the whole pepper.
For the canning recipe:
I use equal parts of vinegar and water.
1 T of mustard seed
1 T of celery seed
3 T or so of honey
2 T of canning/pickling salt
3-4 cloves of garlic sliced.
This is for about a 6 quart pot full of peppers.
Bring this mixture to a boil (with peppers in the mixture if you like them soft).
If you don't like them too soft don't boil them with the mixture.
If you do like them soft just boil them with the mixture for 4-5 minutes.
Take peppers out of boil and put in jars.
Spoon in mixture into the jars (while it is still boiling) and seal.
No need for a hot water bath, the boiling mixture will seal the jars.
I have put up about 30 jars of different styles of jalapenos this year, this recipe seems to be a hit with everyone who has tried it.
Put up 15 jars with this recipe, they turned out great!
