Well I went to 5 different places looking for a pressure canner with no luck, so it looks like I’m doing this the old fashioned way. I’m going to have to use a water bath, and a vinegar water solution. All in all the whole process should only take me about 30 minutes. I’ve already gotten all the prep work done, so I just need to start the water boiling. I don’t have enough jars to can all the peppers, so I think for my next project I’ll try drying the rest of them. Well, I’m going to see how this goes.
That went way smoother than I thought it would. Instead of the salt that the recipe said I should use, I found that vinegar and salt water seem more popular with the rest of the research I’ve done.
One thing I would have to advise, is use rubber/latex gloves for this. I consider myself to be a “manly” guy when it comes to spicy stuff, but I accidently rubbed my face after slicing all those peppers, and let me assure you, I was feeling it the whole time I was canning these peppers. Anyways, like I said, this was super easy, and I’m going to be trying different ways to flavour the next batches I do. This kind of salt/vinegar bath is perfect for working with new ideas (maybe adding some rosemary to the next batch?).
This is very easy to do, check out this video. Have Fun!!
