SWEET PICKLED BANANA PEPPERS



Sweet Pickled Banana Peppers image

I love these peppers on hot dogs, hamburgers or what ever. They are so easy to make. You can double the recipe with no problem. I have never water bathed these pickles the jars have always sealed securely and I have used them a year or so later, Just be sure that the top has sealed and you have heard it POP. If the jar does not seal fully store in the fridge and use within a couple of months. As you can see from the picture, I often mix hot Jalapeno, Anaheim, Banana and any other peppers on hand - the result is medium hot pickled peppers. If you are at all concerned about food safety and would feel better water-bathing them, by all means do so - Just follow the instructions is any canning book - I recommend 15 minutes in the water-bath.

PICKLED CABBAGE AND PEPPERS



Pickled Cabbage and Peppers image

This relish from "The Joy of Pickling" has replaced sauerkraut in our house. Sour, sweet, and spicy, it's great for topping hot dogs or as a side with sausage. Serve hot or cold. Editted to add: Feel free to substitute other commercial vinegars. I often use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, as white wine vinegar can be a bit expensive.

Provided by dianegrapegrower

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 4 pints

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs cabbage, cored and shredded
5 cups bell peppers, cut into thin strips (a mix of red and yellow is pretty)
1/4 cup pickling salt
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
4 teaspoons mustard seeds
6 garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • In a large bowl or cork, toss the cabbage and peppers with the salt. Cover and let stand in a cool place for 8-12 hours.
  • In a non-reactive saucepan, combine the sugar and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then let it cool.
  • Rinse the cabbage, and drain it well. Toss with the pepper flakes, mustard seeds and garlic. Pack the vegetable mixture firmly into pint mason jars. (the recipe as written generally makes about 4 pints. If you find you need more jars, you may not have packed firmly enough - and you'll need more vinegar mixture as a result.) Pour the vinegar mixture over the vegetables. Close the jars with hot two-piece caps.
  • Process the jars for 20 minutes in a boiling water bath. Store the cooled jars in a cool, dry, dark place for at least 3 weeks before eating the cabbage.

Pick a mix of hot peppers for these versatile pickles. You can preserve the peppers whole if you want the pickles to be less spicy (since the skin isn't punctured) or slice them into rings first.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Pick peppers that are firm, brightly colored, and free of blemishes. Hot peppers like cayenne, serrano, and habanero peppers, as well as sweet peppers like bell peppers, can be used. Decide on the level of heat you desire when selecting peppers.
  • Prepare the peppers: Wash and dry the peppers thoroughly. Cut the peppers into uniform pieces, removing the seeds and ribs if you want to reduce the heat. Wear gloves when handling hot peppers.
  • Use a variety of pickling liquids: Experiment with different liquids for pickling, such as vinegar, brine, or a combination of both. You can also add herbs, spices, and other ingredients to create unique flavor profiles.
  • Control the heat level: The amount of heat in your pickled peppers depends on the type of peppers you use and the pickling liquid. Adjust the amount of hot peppers or add sugar or other sweeteners to balance the heat.
  • Process the peppers properly: Follow the recommended processing times and techniques to ensure safe preservation. This may involve boiling, canning, or refrigeration, depending on the recipe.
  • Patience is key: Pickled peppers often taste better after some time to develop their flavors. Allow them to rest for at least a few weeks before enjoying them.
