- Run a spatula or butter knife around the edges of the jars and press peppers to get all the air bubbles out.

Steps:
- Wash the peppers, then cut off the tops and slice them into 1/2"-3/4" rings. Remove some of the seeds and discard. Pack peppers into prepared jars (I prefer pint size, but quarts will work just as well). If desired, add Pickle Crisp Granules to jar (1/8 heaping teaspoon for a pint or heaping 1/4 teaspoon per quart jar). Put water, vinegar, garlic, peppercorns, red pepper, sugar, mustard seed & salt in pot & bring to a boil. Let it simmer on low heat for 5 to 10 minutes. I then remove the garlic cloves from the mixture. Pour hot liquid over prepared peppers, being sure to include some of the spices in each jar. Leave 1/2" headspace. Wipe the rims & tighten lids to fingertip tightness. Process the jars in a boiling water bath, ensuring they are completely covered with boiling water and process for 10 minutes. After processing, remove jars with jar lifter and set them on a folded dish towel on the counter to cool... and listen for the PING of each successfully sealed jar!
