Canning Hot Cherry Peppers

[Keith]

Last week, I showed you the process of how to make the Gravy.

This week is: Canning Hot Cherry Peppers:

Here's a pic of the Peppers:

 Man those are some great looking peppers, did you grow them?

[Jimmie the Mum]

No, too many to can to grow. But  these came from the garden:

 

The Figs:



The Long Hot Peppers: I will string these up & let them dry.



These are ready for frying and freezing. MMM good on sandwiches with the home made sauce.




Here they are being fried!!



And now the drying of the long hot ones. These are hanging in the basement.

    Thanks a lot, Jimmie!  While I do like the spice, I'm thinking the habaneros can't be enjoyed in the same manner as perhaps the cherry or wax peppers.  Unless one has a blatant disregard for their own stomach (or it's made of cast iron), few fellas are taking those habaneros out of the jar with a fork and eating them.  Perhaps the jalapenos, but if you're chowing down on those habaneros, you're a bad man, Jimmie!  Those long, hot peppers you show are probably as hot as I'd want to eat in a salad or a sandwich.... or just as a snack. 

    I see me chasing down some jars this weekend, and hitting the market!  Thanks again for the advice, Jimmie!

Anytime Pete, I'll be here if you have any questions. Before I put the lid on the jar I wrap some saran wrap around the lid first, then put the lid on, turn the jar upside down and check for any leaks.

I guess I'm a bad man as I love the Habaneros. I use them when I cook peppers & onions with my steak, hamburger etc. I admit I don't put them on my salad but I do eat them.

[Pete]

     Yeah, I did notice the Saran Wrap under the lids.  I guess I just assumed it was to alleviate the problem with the lids sticking, as they often seem to do when they've not been opened for an extended period of time.  

     A bad man indeed, Jimmie!  I don't find the habaneros enjoyable straight out of the garden... or even in the jar.  If I buried them in a hoagie, sure...

[Jimmie the Mum]

Well perhaps I'll do eggplant next week.

They do indeed look delicious Jimmie!!
