I am looking for some help with canning Banana peppers and other vegetables. My grandmother used to can most everything that came out the garden but I was to young to remember details. Any help wwill be very much appreciated. Thanks Roy

Your best bet is to buy the current Ball Blue Book of Food Preserving which will give you all the necessary instructions on proper canning and has quite a few recipes, especially learning that not all recipes are “safe”.

We grew Banana peppers in the garden my son wants them to taste like on a subway sandwich can I prepare them some way without canning?

12

Sorry to ask so many questions. I’m going to soak them overnight and next day do the boiling thing and just skip the boiling the jar thing. Can you tell I’m a novice?

Just joined in here. The above posts have been edifying but I have one more question: are there any non-processed methods for pickling banana peppers (or any peppers) that inhibit bacteria growth and enhance longer shelf life or does one invariably have to refrigerate and accept the shorter life span of the product?

This summer has been wonderful for Banana Peppers and I would like to know if I can pressure can peppers and onions with oil to use on hot sandwiches?
Thanks

Ok, now that I have asked the question, how do I see if there are any responses to it? Having trouble getting around your site. Probably because I am too old!!!

Thanks Kitchen Wizard!!
I know that if I use oil it will have to be Vegetable since Olive will go rancid even with canning!!! I just don’t want to use Vinegar. Would also like to use onion in this mix along with a little red pepper flakes to give it a little more boost on those hot sandwiches…

Sorry about not finding out before I sent the little message about not being able to find response…Like I said a bit old around the head-lights so it takes me a little bit to find what I need on here. Not much of an internet bug,too much to do other-wise…

Also could you give me a ball park idea of how much pressure and how long to process?
Thanks

We have farmed and raised a garden, usually an acre at least raising our children, but they never liked the peppers until the sandwich scene came around, now they want to try all these different things when I want to sit down and rock in my chair!!! These children have children almost grown, but they always come home to Mom for new things…Our son is a chemist, which helps me is some of the things he wants to try, but alas, we need your advise on these things we know you have tried. Again, thanks so much, ‘Kitchen Wizard’!!! We will be in touch when I get these things done to let you know how they came out…

i want to can subways sweet banana peppers

Hello everyone, new to this site, but like it so far…have found several great canning ideas. I’m new to canning as well. I have canned salsa the past 2 years, but now would like to can pepperchini’s like the ones you get in subway. This recipe looks great and I think I will try it, but have a question… you say to place peppers in jars, pour on pickling juice and bring brine to w/i 1/2" of the top… do you pour the pickling juice into the brine or the jars and if in the jars how much? I’m confused not doing this before. Please clarify. I have about 2 lbs of of banana peppers I would like to can today, if I can get clarification. Thanks!

Hi - I’m TOTALLY new to canning. I have a huge crop of banana peppers this year, and want to can them. I have to say that I’m pretty intimidated by the canning process…

I don’t have any special tools…can I just use a large pot for the jar bath?

How does one sterilize the jars? Just put them in boiling water? For how long?

When you say “seal jar,” what is that exact process?

Thanks for the help!

Hello,
New to the site. Was reading up on how to can peppers. Has been a long time since I did this, but have an abundance of peppers this year and needed some help. Reading that a lot of the recipes have spices in them and I don’t remember Mother ever using any kind of spices in peppers, also I don’t remember her ever using a water bath for them, just a cold pack type of canning them. Can you fill me in with a little more info?
