My garden is not doing so great because of all the rain, wind, bugs, and tomato blight. But it looks like my sweet italian peppers are going to have a bumpter crop this year.
I was wondering if I could pickles them. I have seen a few recipes for pickled peppers. What I would like to do is pickle them so they taste like the ones at subway. They are kinds sweet and spicy. Not sure what recipe would have a good outcome for these. These peppers are long and turn red when they are ripe.Some of them are about 9 inches long but are still green. I figure I will have at least 50 of these when they ripen. I am so excited but want to do something with them besides freeze them. The pickled peppers at subway taste so good. They have a crunch to them and are sweet and spicy at the same time.
If you have the Ball Blue Book of Preserving, there is a recipe for "Pickled Peppers" that would probably work. I *think* the peppers at Subway are pepperoncinis. I grew some of those last year and put them up using the above mentioned recipe. Let us know what you come up with! :)
Thanks Candy. I will look into finding seeds to grow those kind of peppers. I thought they were banana peppers or something like that. Did you like the way your peppers turned out using the recipe from the ball canning book? I wonder if I will get good results using the sweet italian peppers. Guess I will have to wait for them to ripen and try it.
Sweet Italian peppers... pickled???
