canning hot peppers
The MacDonald Family
for canning peppers. Also can I do a hot waterbath or do I have to
pressureize them? Sorry for not knowing the correct usage of canning words.
Thank you in advance

Here's a recipe we make pretty well every year.
Name: Rings of Fire
Key Ingredient: Hot Peppers
Comments: These are great on hamburgers, hot dogs, subs, etc.
6 quarts, hot peppers
5 cups, vinegar
2-1/2 cups, water
6 Tbs. granulated sugar
6 Tbs. pickling salt
Cut hot peppers into rings about 1/4" thick.
Combine remaining ingredients in stainless steel pot and bring to
boil, simmer for 5 minutes.
Pack pepper pieces into hot, sterilized pint mason jars and pour
boiling liquid over, leaving 1/4" head space.
Immediately, fit lids and screwbands.
Process in BWB 10 minutes.
Allow to cool in draft free location.
Ready to use in approx. 3 weeks.
Alternatives:
If you want the peppers whole, cut two slits in each one then pack
peppers into jars and proceed as above.
Enjoy,
Ross.

Canning peppers must be done in a pressure canner, and what you
get is horribly soft gelatin stuck to tough skins.
Pickle them instead, Ross Reid's recipe looks fine.
