Banana Peppers

[TheGuy]

I have some banana peppers and don't know what to do with them. I have put a few in with my pickels and some with my tomatoes but still have lots of em. I would like to do something with em since I like em. Any helpfull things to do with them would help.

Thanks

You could just pickel them or I like to make hot garlic carrots. I just buy the pre-cleaned baby-carrots at Cub, drop 4-5 cloves of garlic in the bottom, add a couple of sliced peppers into the bottom of the jar, fill the jar with baby-carrots, add a couple more peppers to the top and add pickeling brine.

They go over real big at the hunting shack.

You could also simply can the peppers themselves. I have done rings as well as pieces. Pack them into a jar with some garlic cloves, pour on the brine and seal. They are awesome on sandwiches or simply eating out of the jar.

my uncle cans banana peppers and WOW WOW WOW
they are great for adding to sandwiches, or bloodly marys or anything else while ice fishing!
my mouth is watering just talking about it!!
they are THE BEST with cabbage rolls and some flat bread with garlic paste

wow I have to go I can't TAKE IT ANYMORE

With extra peppers, if we can't use them all, we just cut them up and freeze them in a ziploc bag or vacuum-pack them. Taste great later when you need them. Especially in omelets.

Thanks for the replys everyone! I ended up pickeling them with carrots and garlic. I brought a gar up last night to look at, don't think they are ready it's only been about 4 weeks. I'm going to wait another week or so if I can.

I'm going to pickle fish next week, I can't wait, it makes my mouth water right now!!!

The Guy,

My rule of thumb is wait 6 weeks. And you'll love the hot garlic carrots.

If you took any advice from Ole1855 you should be plesantly surprised with your finished product. I had never canned anything and the guy came through with a step by step process that had my buddy thinking I was a pro. Kudos Ole1855 and thanks again. Luckily my 6 weeks are up and I'm enjoying the little things plain out of the jar and on sandwhiches, brats and hotdogs...you name it, it's improved with a few pepper slices. I also add a little Dill seed after opening a jar. Next year I'm going to be doing more greenbeans too, they were excellent as well
