Canning

We have talked about canning for many years and just never did it. Well this birthday gift fixed that!! Now the delay was what to can....


We still were growing some jalapenos so we thought that was a good start. This is a mix of jalapenos, banana peppers and red bell peppers. We also bought about 2# of jalapenos to make some extra jars. Luckily I had a great chopper who didn't mind slicing all these peppers.


We made a brine of vinegar, olive oil, peppercorns, fresh dill, salt, garlic and a little of this and that.

Stuffed our jars full of peppers and poured the brine over them.



Luckily Dad was home to put the cans in their bath as I don't like that part.


Ten minutes later, we have jars of pickled jalapenos. Now the real test will be how they taste!!


We all had a lot of fun with it and are looking forward to some more canning adventures!!

Paul has really gotten into canning. He made apple butter, plum jelly, grape jelly and chow chow.
