Recipe Facts
Ingredients
- 4 cups chopped hot peppers (about 1 pound)
- 2 cups red wine vinegar
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons pickling salt
Directions
-
Prepare a small canning pot and 2 pint jars. Place 2 new lids in a small pot of water and bring to the barest simmer.
-
Combine vinegar, water and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
-
When brine is boiling, add pepper rings and stir to submerge.
-
As soon as the brine returns to a boil, remove the pot from the heat.
-
Funnel peppers into jars and top off with brine, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
-
Tap jars gently to remove any trapped air bubbles. If necessary, add more brine to return the headspace to 1/2 inch.
-
Wipe rims, apply lids and rings and process jars in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes (start your timer when the water returns to a boil, not when the jars first go in).
-
When time is up, remove jars from canner and let cool on a folded kitchen towel.
-
When jars are cool enough to handle, remove rings and test seals by grasping edges of lids and carefully lifting jars. If lids hold fast, seals are good.
-
Store jars in a cool, dark place. They are ready to eat with in 48 hours, but can be kept up to one year.
