Canned Hot Pepper Sauce Food

CANNED HOT PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium stockpot, combine the peppers, cider vinegar, white vinegar, onion, garlic powder, cumin, mustard, turmeric, salt, clove, allspice, and sugar.
• Put the lid on the pot, bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then simmer the sauce for 20 minutes.
• While the hot sauce is simmering, prepare the water bath canner. Fill it halfway with water and put it on the stove to simmer. Check two half-pint jars for any nicks or cracks, wash them in hot soapy water and rinse them in hot water. Keep the jars hot until it's time to use them. Wash the lids in hot soapy water and rinse them.
• After 20 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and puree the pepper mixture. You can use an immersion blender or ladle the mixture into a blender to puree it.
• Pour or ladle the hot sauce into the prepared jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. Remove the air bubbles with a bubble remover tool or chopstick and recheck the headspace. Wipe the rims with a clean cloth, put the lids on the jars and screw on the bands. Place the jars in the prepared hot water bath canner, making sure that the jars are covered by at least an inch of water.
• Put the lid on the canner and bring the water to a full rolling boil. Process the jars for 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude, if necessary.
• Arrange a folded towel on the counter or table. Remove the jars, using a jar lifter, and place them on the towel. Let the jars cool for at least 12 hours.
• Once the jars are cooled, remove the bands and check the seals. If any jars failed to seal, put the in the refrigerator to use first. Wipe the jars with a clean cloth and store them for up to a year.

GRANDMA VINION'S CANNED PEPPERS IN RED SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. NOTE: If you are doing sweet & hot peppers, cook the sweet peppers in the sauce before starting the hot. Also, if you have any sauce left over when done with all the peppers... don't throw it out. Can it! I like to use mine in my chili or in several other recipes.
• 2. Prepare Jars: Clean and sanitize jars, lids, & rings as per manufacturer directions. Keep both lids and jars hot until ready to use. There are 2 way I do this. *Sanitize in dishwasher, by the time the cycle is done, you will be ready to use the jars. Or keep in a simmer hot water bath.
• 3. Wash and clean all peppers. If using hot peppers, put on rubber gloves. Cut peppers in long slices, remove seeds. You can also cut in large chunks. Place in large bowl and set aside.
• 4. In a large stock pot. Saute onions & garlic in oil until onions are transparent. Add tomato puree, sauce, sugar, salt, & vinegar. Heat to a slow simmer boil, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring well. Add peppers, & simmer for 10-12 minutes. Peppers will be cooked but still firm. Do not over-cook. Pack peppers in hot pint sized jars, add sauce, leave 1/2 inch head space. ** When adding peppers to jars, I use long handled tongs, & pack in all peppers in jars until I only have sauce remaining. Then use a ladle to add sauce with onions. Before adding next batch of peppers to the sauce, make sure you removed all peppers from previous batch. Add next batch of peppers and continue.
• 5. Wipe rim of jars clean with a clean hot cloth. Place rims & rings. Make sure ring is tightly in place. Process pint sized jars in a hot water bath for 5 minutes. (adjust according to altitude) Quart sized jars 10 minutes. You will hear a "popping" sound from jars as they seal. Be sure to check each jar when cooled & before storing to make sure they have processed. Press in center of lid, if it pops up and down, it has not processed. & you may need to place new lid and reprocess. If center of lid is firm, jar is processed and sealed. Allow jars to cool, then store in a cool dry place. **If canning left over sauce. Process the same.
