HOW TO MAKE HOT PEPPER RINGS

Steps:

• Wash jars, lid tops and rings with dishwashing soap and hot water. Rinse and let them air dry while you prepare the peppers.
• Step 2.
• Put on rubber gloves and rinse peppers with warm water. Cut off the top stems and discard.
• Step 3.
• Slice horizontally across the peppers to make rings of your preferred thickness. Scrape out the seeds with your knife if you don't want peppers that are very hot.
• Step 4.
• Place the large pot on the stove. Pour in 7 cups white vinegar and 7 cups cold water, and stir to combine. Turn heat on "High" and cook until the mixture begins to boil, then turn off the heat.
• Step 5.
• Put another large pot on the stove as the vinegar and water are boiling. Lay your pint jars, lid tops and rings in the pot, cover them with cold water and heat on "High" until boiling to disinfect them.
• Step 6.
• Reduce heat to "Low" after the jars have been boiled. Put on oven mitts and remove the jars from the pot.
• Step 7.
• Divide the peppers evenly among the 8 1-pint jars, along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt per jar. Cover the peppers with the hot vinegar and water, distributing evenly.
• Step 8.
• Place lid tops and rings on the openings of the jars, then press rings down to firmly secure. Heat the pot of water in which the jars were boiled, refilling with additional water if needed to cover the jars.
• Step 9.
• Wait until the water begins to boil, then gently place the jars in the pot, letting them boil for 10 minutes so the lid tops and rings on the jar tightly seal. Turn off the heat, remove the jars of peppers with oven mitts, and store them in a cool, dry place.

CANNED BANANA PEPPER RINGS

Steps:

• 1.Prepare jars. I chose to just wash my jars in hot soapy water. I turned my oven on to 175 to put the jars in to keep them warm after washing.
• 2.Wash whole banana peppers to remove any dirt. Remove tops from peppers and cut peppers into rings. I cut my rings sort of thick, but you can cut them as thick or thin as you want. Also, de-seed if you choose to de-seed your banana peppers.
• 3.In a large pot, combine 7 cups of water and 7 cups of white vinegar. Heat on high until boiling.
• 4.At the same time, in a small pot, place jar lids and boil.
• 5.Once the jars and lids are boiling, turn on low heat.
• 6.Add 1 clove of garlic to empty jar, then pack banana pepper rings tightly into the jar. Add 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoons alum to the peppers. Pour hot vinegar-water mixture over the peppers. Immediately put on lid and ring to seal.
• 7.Repeat with remaining peppers and jars.
• Once the jars start to cool, they will seal.

CHEESY STUFFED PEPPER RINGS

Steps:

• Potato Filling -- In a large saute pan, add the oil and butter and bring to medium heat. Add in the garlic, onion and cook for 2 minutes. Then add the potatoes, salt, pepper, parsley, and cayenne and cook until slightly brown on medium high heat but not over done. You still want them undercooked a bit, but soft and tender Approximately 7-10 minutes. When done, remove from the heat into a large bowl, let cool slightly and add the egg, cheese and scallions and mix well.
• Peppers -- As the potatoes are cooking prepare the peppers. Cut the very top and bottom off of the pepper and then cut in 3 - 1" (approximate size) rings. Remove the ribs and seeds. This should make 3-4 - 1" rings per pepper.
• Bake -- On a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper sprayed with non-stick spray or Pam, set the rings down and then fill with the potato mixture and be sure to press down and fill completely. Cook 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven until golden brown and the peppers are soft and tender.
• Serve -- Pretty and easy. ENJOY!
