Marinated Refrigerated Peppers
Remember, all pickled pepper products stored at room temperature must be processed, to avoid the risk of botulism toxin development during storage. The boiling water-bath processing step can be omitted if pickles are stored in the refrigerator. Use the following procedure.
Wash peppers. Small peppers may be left whole with two small slits in each pepper. Core and cut large peppers into strips.
Sterilize jars, lids and screw-bands. Pack peppers tightly into sterilized jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
For each 6 cups of brine, combine 5 cups vinegar,
1 cup water and 1 tablespoon pickling salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer five minutes.
Pour vinegar solution over peppers, leaving 1/8-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Adjust headspace so that brine covers all peppers. Wipe rims.
Place sterilized flats on jars. Do not put on screwbands. Allow jars to cool. Put on screwbands and wipe jars. Refrigerate six to eight weeks for the pickled flavor to fully develop. Keep refrigerated and use within six months. This pepper product allows the peppers to marinate in a high acid solution, at a cold temperature, and in the presence of air. These conditions are not favorable for botulinum toxin formation. It does not ensure against other types of spoilage.

CANNING UNPICKLED ROASTED PEPPERS
Because they are low-acid vegetables, peppers must always be canned in a pressure canner if they are not pickled. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for proper use of a pressure canner.
Because they are low-acid vegetables, peppers must always be canned in a pressure canner if they are not pickled. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for proper use of a pressure canner.
1. Tough-skinned peppers. Peel peppers by first heating them in a gas flame, on
the barbecue, or under the broiler until the skins separate from the flesh. Then
place peppers in a bowl and cover for 5 to 10 minutes. Skins will slip off easily.
Cut off the stem end of each pepper, and remove the core and seeds.
Other peppers. Remove stems, cores, and seeds; blanch 3 minutes. Quarter
large peppers; leave small peppers whole but flatten them before packing into
jars.
2. Pack into half-pint (250-ml) or 1-pint (500-ml) jars. Do not use quart (1-L) jars.
Cover peppers with boiling water, leaving a 1 inch of headspace. Then add 1
⁄2 teaspoon (2 ml) of salt to pint jars, if desired.
3. Important: Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of bottled lemon juice to each 1-pint
(500-ml) jar.
4. Remove air bubbles by running a plastic knife or spatula between the peppers
and the jar. Wipe jar rims with a clean, damp cloth and secure lids and ring
bands.
5. Process in a properly functioning pressure canner as prescribed in Table 1.
STORING CANNED AND PICKLED PEPPERS
1. Store sealed jars of peppers in a cool, dry, dark place. Quality is best maintained
when storage temperatures do not exceed 75˚F (24.1˚C).
2. Store opened jars of peppers in the refrigerator.

Candied Jalapenos (Cowboy Candy)
These little beauties are so addictive: sweet, spicy, and tangy. Once you start eating these, you’ll find all sorts of places to stash them—sandwiches, potato salad, grilled meat, and pasta, just to name a few.
Yield 9- ½ pints.
Water bath for 10 minutes in pints or ½ pints.
Ingredients
3 pounds Firm, Fresh Jalapeno Peppers, Washed
2 cups Cider Vinegar
6 cups White Granulated Sugar
½ teaspoons Turmeric
½ teaspoons Celery Seed
3 teaspoons Granulated Garlic
1 teaspoon Ground Cayenne Pepper (Optional)
Instructions
Wearing gloves, remove the stems from all of the jalapeno peppers. The easiest way to do this is to slice a small disc off of the stem-end along with the stem. Discard the stems.
Slice the peppers into uniform 1/8 -1/4 inch rounds. Set aside.
In a large pot, bring cider vinegar, white sugar, turmeric, celery seed, granulated garlic and cayenne pepper to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the pepper slices and simmer for exactly 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the peppers, loading into clean, sterile canning jars to within 1/4 inch of the upper rim of the jar. Turn heat up under the pot with the syrup and bring to a full rolling boil. Boil hard for 6 minutes.
Use a ladle to pour the boiling syrup into the jars over the jalapeno slices. Insert a cooking chopstick to the bottom of the jar two or three times to release any trapped pockets of air. Adjust the level of the syrup if necessary. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp paper towel and fix on new, two-piece lids to finger-tip tightness
If you do not want to can these to the point of shelf stable, you can simply put the jars in your refrigerator and store them there. I prefer to keep the fridge space free so I can them. If you wish to can them, follow the instructions below.
Note: If you have leftover syrup, and it is likely that you will, you may can it in half-pint or pint jars, too. It’s wonderful brushed on meat on the grill or added to potato salad or, or, or … in short, don’t toss it out!
To can, place jars in a canner and cover with water by 2-inches. Bring the water to a full rolling boil. When it reaches a full rolling boil, set the timer for 10 minutes for half-pints or pints. When timer goes off, use canning tongs to transfer the jars to a cooling rack. Leave them to cool, undisturbed, for 24 hours. When fully cooled, wipe them with a clean, damp washcloth, then label.
