A friend gave me banana peppers because she said no one will eat them in their house. I turned the peppers to pickles using this recipe. Soooo good! Thank you!

Thank you SO much for this recipe! It's my first year growing sweet banana peppers and pickling. I'm fairly new at gardening (started in 2021) and your channel has been so helpful. I've become more confident in my garden thanks to you!

The timing on this was superb. I just had a huge harvest of banana peppers. Thanks for sharing. This was exactly what I wanted to know.

I should have watched this before going to the store this morning, now I have to go back and get some banana peppers haha

I made up 2 jars last week and sampled them today. SOLID recipe!

Great timing for pickling and powder videos! Thank you both for the awesome content!

Oh my! I'm already tasting this just by watching, looks tasty.

That looks super easy. Thanks guys

Thanks for all your pepper wisdom starting last fall when I saved peppers over for the first time… : ) … after many setbacks, I’ve realized that peppers don’t get tired of trying to grow… I have to not grow tired of learning the fine art… I, Fred am a Pepper Head. The peppers survived and thrived!… Go Geeks : ) 🐸

This came out just in time for my Hungarian hot wax peppers! Thanks!

Funny I just did that exact thing too

We usually use most of our banana capsicums along with our bell capsicums, might have to save a few. We are also going to try mild paprika this year, wonder if that will offer enough kick.

What a pleasant alternative to videos with insipid music trax throughout. Luv the simplicity.

It’s so true I found banana peppers to be lacking in sweetness and it wasn’t until I missed one that ended up ripening to a brilliant red that I discovered was when they were super delicious now I pick them once they begin to have a slight orange and any color variation after that. I found them to still be lovely and crunchy enough for me but everyone is different. Anyway just thought I’d mention. I’ve got one banana pepper plant that I’m growing indoors hydroponically and it’s producing soooo many peppers it’s fantastic!! I really like this pepper plant for indoor growing because I can heavily trim the leaves and it just focuses it’s growth on growing peppers instead of replacing the leaves the way lunchbox sweet peppers or bell peppers tend to do. Also did you know if you are growing a pepper plant in a garden you can cut stems from it and shake off all insects and bring it indoors and put the stems in water and they will grow roots and begin growing their own pepper plant!! I learned this recently and it’s so much faster then beginning from seed! So I’m always going to be able to keep this plant growing for many many years to come it’s over a year old now and still producing. I’m absolutely amazed I was able to do this! The only “fancy” equipment is a 70litre storage container with a lid that I cut a small hole in the middle and wrapped the whole thing in aluminum foil shiny side out to ensure no algae in the water. Then popped the plant in and wrapped tin foil around the stem to give it extra support and in the water I used hydroponic nutrients as per instructions on bottles I used general hydroponics brand. And a full spectrum cheap $50 grow light and banana peppers year round!! I’m loving this!! Next up banana pickles!!! ❤️ I’m new to indoor growing and I also found that getting an air stone with an air pump gives the roots more oxygen and the plant is loving it! I can’t remember the prices but definitely no more then $50 and that’s the air pump with 4 valves and air stone and air tubing. Thank you soooo much for this recipe! I may get a few more banana pepper plants growing now that I have a way to use them besides just fresh which we absolutely love! No need for them to ever go into a fridge until now in a jar…LOL! Mother inlaw won’t be too happy because she was getting my over abundance but won’t be anymore. Lol pickled peppers I’m making this today!

So glad to read your comment. I’m just getting ready to do this. I found a four port pump with air stones for $26 on Amazon. I got frosting buckets free from the bakery department at my local grocery store. I found 6 grow lights that are 24” long for $70 on Amazon. I start my seeds in a tabletop hydroponic system to move into the DWC buckets. In addition to the banana peppers I plan on growing parthenocarpic cucumbers and maybe some other peppers. I’m growing micro dwarf tomatoes, lettuce, and herbs in other tabletop hydroponic systems. Most of this is set up in a large walk-in closet but I have some of the really small tabletop systems with my house plants. I like the one with lavender in the bedroom.

I’ve tried this recipe a few times and the one change I’ve made is adding a few halved jalapeños to the brine when bringing to a boil. It’s the only way I’ve found to give the rings a decent kick

Mouth watering! Thanks for the video. What are some variations or other spices to try?

I use them fresh from my garden in my salad’s and on sandwiches. Go light even though they are sweet they do have a slight bitterness, but that is usually taken up by the salad dressing or with sandwiches rhe mayonnaise. I use maybe 1/2 to 3/4 in salads or on sandwich

Pickled hot banana peppers have been my favorite since I was a kid many moons ago. Try adding some star anise in with your spice on a jar. Don't think you'll be disappointed.

I mostly just do pickled jalapenos, but very similar brine. One thing I'd recommend is using apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar. I find it adds a bit more nuance to the flavour and it's a bit less cloying without even needing to add as much sugar, but if yours is less than the 5% acidity just increase the vinegar:water ration a bit to balance it out.

Works great with some chunked fresh pineapple and fresh cilantro!

I just discovered that tomato horn worms love Jalapeño peppers and grapes. 😢. Got rid of 4 THW's today.

I sometimes take bread and butter pickles when empty and slice up jalapenos and put in the juice. Wonder what bread and butter banana peppers would taste like?

i love my seeds and get as many as i can in the jar,

What is the best way to store peppers while I wait to get enough of a harvest to can? I know you can freeze tomatoes whole, can you freeze peppers?

Can you also make this recipe with whole peppers instead of slicing them?

Definitely put a porch on it 👍🏻

What do you use them with besides salad? I am a newbie to peppers.

mm you don't salt them first like cukes? Also I didn't used to use a lot of sugar but people kept asking for more sweetness.. what do I know lol ! I've been canning for years but always looking for new tips.. thanks PG, beautiful technique!

I tried this recipe and they turned out great. Four XL ripe, yellow banana peppers plus one large jalapeño was enough to pack one large Mason jar. I have about a quarter of the jar left now and was going to try frying the remaining ones. Have you guys ever tried frying them? Seems simple enough just draining and coating in seasoned flour. Thanks.

Fried banana peppers are delicious!

I did make these and did the water bath. There was a small jar left over so after they cooled we tasted them. They were so soggy it was awful. So I guess you have to use the pickle crisp if you want crispy peppers canned? And I so wanted to do natural. Any suggestions???

USDA is your best source for preserving peppers long term. Letting them sit in the fridge for 2 weeks before opening, yields the best tasting, my opinion.

I pickle peppers every year. I do not boil the brine but mix it all at room temperature. I pack my jars after I run them in the dishwasher first to clean them. Then I pack my peppers into them and add the brine. I made a vacuum sealer out of an old pressure cooking pot and use my vacuum pump from my air conditioning tools with it. I loosely set the boiled lids on the jars and just screw the bands on them until the lids just make contact with the jar loosely. I place them into the pressure pot and put the lid on. I then place a vacuum pump on the pot until it is at a vacuum. Then when you release the vacuum on the pot you will hear all the jars click shut. I then tighten the rings just a small amount more and store the jars in a cool place. We've had jars that are good for more then two years this way. They may keep longer but I never can keep them to long before we eat them all.

I made your recipe, no sugar... amazing!! Thanks for sharing this recipe... you're awesome!! Question, what can i do with the left over liquid, after all the peppers are used? It smells amazing and I'm hoping not to waste it if possible. Can i use the liquid to make another batch?

Also great to pickle thinly sliced carrot sticks! We reheat the brine before pouring over the carrots. Store in fridge. Or use a mix of cauliflower florets, sliced carrot, red bell pepper, etc. Probably great with baby okra, too, though we haven’t tried that yet.

How soon do you put them in the fridg?? While the jar is still hot??
