Canning Pepperoncini Like Store Bought Recipes

PICKLED PEPPERONCINI PEPPERS

Steps:

• To begin, combine the water, vinegar, salt and sugar in a large pot. Bring it to a boil, and boil for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and keep the liquid hot for canning.
• Fill your jars with sliced or split peppers.
• Place 1/8 teaspoon of pickle crisp in each jar, along with 1 Tb peppercorns and a clove of garlic.
• Ladle the pickling liquid into the jars, allowing for 1/4 inch of head space.
• Use a bubble wand (or chop stick) to remove any air bubbles, pressing the peppers against the sides of the jar. Add additional liquid if needed to bring the liquid back to 1/4 inch of head space.
• Close your jars with lids and rings and place them in the canner.
• Process your jars for 10 minutes. (Adjust for elevation.)
• Allow the jars to rest for 5 minutes in the canner before transferring to a draft-free location to cool over night, or 12-24 hours.
• Remove the rings, check the seals, label and store your jars of pickled peppers.

PICKLED PEPPERONCINI

Steps:

• Wash and sort the pepperoncini. Using a sharp knife, make a split in the side of each, keeping the stem in tact.
• Wash and sterilize 4 16 ounce canning jars.
• Simmer the tops in water.
• Set a large canning pot to boil.
• In a large heavy bottomed pot, add 4 cups white vinegar and 4 cups water with 1/4 cup kosher or pickling salt and 1/3 cup sugar.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from the heat.
• Stuff the jars with pepperoncini. Once these come out of the water canner, there will be considerably shrinkage of the peppers, so the more you can fit, the more appealing the final product will look.
• Into each jar add 2 cloves of crushed garlic, 6-7 whole pepper corns and 6-7 whole corriander seeds and 1 teaspoon of dried, crushed red pepper flakes.
• Fill the jars to about 1/4 inch head room, then add the tops and then the rims, and close, but not too tightly.
• Process for 10 minutes in boiling water with at least 2 inches of water above the rims.
• Once done, let the jars sit, covered for 5 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the canner and let them sit, undistirbed for 24 hours.
• Check the tops to be sure they've popped. This means, they've usually made a popping sound and the soft center of the lid as inverted. You can also check by tapping the top. If it goes up and down, the seal did not take. Any that did not can be refrigerated and eaten with a few weeks. Properly presserved, you can store the pepperoncini for up to a year. Refrigerate once opened.
• Enjoy!

PICKLED PEPPERONCINI

Steps:

• Put pint jars (plus 1/2 pint, in case you have too many peppers) and lids in pan with water to boil, along with tongs and canning funnel. Bring to boil while continuing other steps. Reduce heat, or turn off after boiling for 10 minutes.
• Wash peppers in cold water, set aside to drain.
• Bring vinegar, water, and salt to a boil and maintain.
• Drain jars.
• Blanch garlic cloves and place in jars.
• Slit each pepper vertically and pack into jars. (I slit from the base of the stem down the pepper to within 1/4" of the bottom; this way there is no trapped air at the top causing peppers to float upside down, and enough juice to drizzle on the salad in the end of the pepper).
• Pour hot liquid over peppers allowing slightly more than 1/2" head space.
• Carefully pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into jar being very careful not to get any on lid.
• Process, as you wish (10 minutes in boiling water bath), or not. I do not process my pickles.
• Store in cool dark place. Ready in 3 weeks (but I have been known to open a jar the next day), refrigerate after opening.
