Bamboo skewers and chipsticks make handy debubblers for tight small spaces.

You mentioned being a gardener, keep the seeds and they will grow next year. Something I tried this year, I needed bell pepper seeds for the garden $1.90 for 30 seeds. I need a green pepper for chili so I went to the produce and got a pepper .74 cents it had roughly 90 seeds in it. Since I was planting anyway I decided to try both seeds, they all germinated at the same rate and both are in the garden growing green peppers. I'll never buy plants or seed again. As long as it doesn't come from overseas and gets radiated coming into the country it will grow.

NO, NO, NO! Keep the Pepper Plant!! Transplant it into a pot you can store in the garage. Take ALL leave off, gently. Then transplant it back to your garden area in the normal time of planting the next year. MIGARDENER shows this in his video. IT WORKS! You get a head start on getting peppers because the plant is fully established and can produce fruit much quicker! Be sure to fertilize to give the plant a boost too!!

I’ve found that the banana peppers are delicate and end up too soft for me if I slice them when I can them. So I cut my slices about 1”. I also like to mix the different peppers together. They look so pretty in the jars. Then I use grape leaves in the jars to keep the freshness, but not everyone has access to grape leaves.

We do the same with hot banana peppers. Excellent flavor.

I'm glad to see someone else using the calcium chloride. I'm overseas, and tried to order the "pickle crisp" everyone seems to mention and it is astonishingly expensive imported into the UK (or on th UK Amazon, etc.). However, I looked at the ingredients and, presto (!), like you I am using it out of a little bag for vastly less money. It is specifically food grade and appears to also be used in dairy and brewing so wasn't hard to find. But, as it is a new prodcut to me, it's really good to get that little boost of confidence from seeing someone else use it. Thanks!

Gotta be careful with calcium chloride because it does react with moisture in the air. Maybe separate the big bag of pickle crisp into several jars and then draw the air out of each. I use the Foodsaver jar sealer lids and plumb the air out with their Freshsaver pump.

Nice video - just tried canning for the first time last week, so good to see some confirmation that I did things right. :-) 2 questions - why different brines for the different peppers?

Does that make them super acidic, or why use such a heavy vinegar ratio? Thanks!

@@GreatLakesPrepping thanks anyway - FYI, chemsan (and starsan) and foaming sanitisers, you clean/wash the items first, then mix 10ml per 5 litres of water in a bucket and dip/wash the items that need sanitising, them leaving for 10 mins. you then drain (don't wash, don't fear the foam) and hey presto you are good to go. IMHO much simpler, faster and safer. you can keep the 5lts of liquid for a while and dont need to pour it away after, so it can be re-used. maybe you may like to give it a go sometimes, i never boil now, or use bleach, and have never had any preserved food or wine go bad on me.

I make them all the time. Don't need to boil. If you are using soon. I pickle over night. Banana rings on my pizza.

Thanks for the video with good explanation. I'm trying to learn this skill, but still have a few questions specifically around how "hand tight" to screw on the rings. Your video made me question that even more around the 15:00 min mark when you put the jars in the pot submerged. Several of your jars have a constant stream of air bubbles coming out which means that the pot water is displacing that air and going into the jars. Is that normal? I wouldn't think you would want them to be able to mix like that.

@GreatLakesPrepping

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Victor. This is normal. A big part of this process is as the contents inside the jar heat up, any air in the jars are basically forced out. The lids/rings are constructed in such a way that allows stuff to come out of them, but not go in. Water isn't displacing the air; the air is being pushed out by pressure.

Should you have used 1/8 tsp for the 1/2 jar?

That pepper is the variety you grow. Look for mucho nacho jalapeño or giant jalapeño

Roll your pepper under your hand on the cutting board with just a little pressure, it loosens the insides, making it easier to remove them. You are removing a lot of the heat from the peppers by not using the insides as well.

Just an FYI…. Once you’ve determined that the seal is good, it is recommended that you remove the rings. This will give you piece of mind at the time you decide to take it off your shelf and the jar is still sealed securely! This is common practice among season canners for any canning… water-bath or pressure.

Scientifically, alum has little effect on quick-process pickles but may add firmness to fermented pickles when used at a rate of ¼ teaspoon per pints. Using too much alum will actually decrease firmness."

Hi Adam. I'd say general disruptions. Disruptions in the supply chain, utility services, personal economic situation, etc.

interesting, how about try a mandolin slicer.

For smaller batches, you can use a microwave for the initial sterilization of the jar(s). Just fill the jar 1/4 full of water and put plastic wrap on the top. Let the microwave boil the water and the steam will cure the rest. It only takes about 2 minutes per jar to sterilize.
