I made my first ever pickled banana peppers! I have been dying to try them, but the recipe said to wait a week before opening them. I will open a bottle this weekend. I have a bunch more ready for picking, so if I like this recipe I will make some more but I would like to pressure cook them so I can have them for long term storage.
How do you store your banana peppers?

Lisa, I haven't ever tried those before. I will have to taste some and see what I think. Thank you for the idea.

Fermented carrots are good too! |

I wouldn't either lol! It was more of a curiosity because the carrot was sitting right there next to the left over brine. They almost remind me of the sweet pickles we eat at Thanksgiving time.

Heather, I finished collecting all my beets on Wednesday and got them canned. I did end up with a half a pint left of your beet brine. So out of curiosity I decided to cut up a carrot from my garden and put it in the left over brine and place it in the fridge. I tried the carrot yesterday and it was so yummy! I think I may have found a new snack lol!

Heather! Those beets are perfect! Thank you so much. I am going to get the rest of them from the garden this weekend and get them pickled. I am excited for more food storage!

I made sure to take the cinnamon stick out ha ha! I am going to open them up for dinner. I will get back with you on the family taste test. I need to get the rest of the beets out of the garden. I also need to figure out what my plan is for carrots this year. Not sure I want pickled carrots though lol!

I hope you like it! As long as I don't put the cinnamon stick in everyone around here loves them :)

Heather, look what I made yesterday! I only did one jar to try it out and see if I like them. I decided I would let them sit for a couple of days before trying so that it soaks in all of its brine! Thanks for sharing with me!

Here's the one I use:
1 gallon small beets
2 Cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 sticks of cinnamon
3 1/2 cups vinegar
1 1/2 cups water
Wash beets. Cover with water and boil until tender. Remove skins, stems and root ends. Combine sugar, salt, spices, vinegar, and water in a pan and simmer 15 minutes. Pack beets into hot jars. Bring liquid to a boil and pour over beets. If more liquid is needed add vinegar. Process in water bath for 30 minutes. Note - remove the cinnamon sticks. Do NOT add them to a jar. I learned the hard way LOL! I've also cut up larger beets instead of using small ones. Works just as good!

Well Lisa, you were right. I put a beet in some of that brine last night and tried some tonight. Well, it's really not that great lol! I guess I better look for a legit pickled beet recipe.

Not sure either. I haven't had a chance to try it yet. We got slammed with a really really bad invasion of army worms. I have been fighting them off for a week now. They have been destroying my garden, so I finally caved and used some Neem oil. I am waiting until everything can be harvested. I will let you know once I get around to it.

I'm not sure how the garlic and oregano will go with the beets, but give it a whirl! |

Thank you Lisa!
I am actually wondering how a beet would taste in the same brine. I was thinking of cutting up one and putting it in the left over brine from the peppers and see how it tastes before I commit to all the beets.

Here are my canned banana peppers. The bigger jar is yellow and orange bell peppers that I did the same way. I'm pretty excited to be learning all this new stuff!

Of course Lisa!
1 pound banana peppers
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp salt
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp oregano
Mix all ingredients but the peppers in a bowl and stir until sugar and salt are dissolved. Then add bell peppers and stir again. Cover and store in fridge for 24 hours. Then transfer to a jar with a tight lid.
That's what the recipe says and that's how I tried my first batch. But to keep them longer in the fridge, the second time I used hot brine to make the lids seal. Hopefully you like this recipe too.

Krista, would you mind sharing the recipe you liked? I have found that many of the pickle recipes are either way to heavy on the vinegar or sugar. Hard to find a happy medium. |

So Tara, those peppers were not technically canned either. I put the peppers in the jar and then put the hot brine in and put the lid and ring on. They sealed that way and then I placed them in the fridge. After the peppers sat for a week I opened one and they were so hard to eat. The apple cider vinegar the recipe called for was way too strong. I ended up finding another recipe and tried a small 1/4 batch and absolutely loved the flavor. I then dumped out all 3 of those cans and soaked the peppers in water to get rid of the apple cider vinegar taste. I then did the same process with the new brine. We have finished almost one jar already. We love them on sandwiches. Your roasted peppers sound amazing! I only have one small snack pepper plant. But I would love to give that a try with what I have. Thank you for sharing.
Today I picked the rest of my ripe peppers and dug out my water bath canner. I am going to give it a shot and get the rest of these peppers canned legitimately. I am super excited. I will let you know how they turn out.

I stopped by country market and bought a small bags of sweet snackers peppers. I roasted them in oven with drizzle of olive oil.
These are NOT canned. I put them in jar and poured olive oil over peppers. They are in frig so we can snack on them.
Very good!!!!
Today's good mood brought to you by a lot of coffee!!!

Denise, all of this canning is so new to me. I am trying to learn. I actually have a water bath canner. Can you tell me how I can them? I am hoping to work on them this weekend. The rest of the peppers are ready for picking now.

If you are pickling them they can be done in a water bath canner for long term storage. I love then and eat them on everything I can. Lol.

I canned some plain as sweet peppers, and some pickled. The rest I freeze to use in salsa or where ever. Hope they turn out well for you.
