How to Make Canning Banana Pepper

Step 1

The first thing you need to do is prepare the jars: Wash the jars, lids, and bands with hot, soapy water. Rinse them thoroughly. Place the jars in a large canner filled with hot not boiling water. Keep them hot while you prepare the peppers.

Step 2

Next, slice the peppers: Wash the banana peppers. Remove the stems and slice them into rings about 1/4 inch thick. If you prefer whole peppers, make a small slit in each one to allow the brine to absorb.

Step 3

Now, let’s prepare the brine: In a large pot, combine the vinegar, water, salt, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over low heat. Stir well to completely dissolve the salt and sugar. Then, arrange the jars: Carefully remove one hot jar at a time. Place a few garlic slices if using and optional seasonings in the bottom. Place the banana pepper slices tightly in the jar, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top.

Step 4

Add the brine: Use a ladle and funnel to pour the hot brine over the peppers until they are completely covered. Leave about 1/2 inch of space at the top. Remove any air bubbles: Use a non-metallic spoon or butter knife to run it along the inside rim of the jar to release any trapped air. Wipe the rim with a damp cloth. Then, seal the jars: Place the lids on the jars and twist the bands until they are airtight. Do not overtighten them.

Step 5

Water bath processing: Place the sealed jars in boiling water in the canner. Ensure the water covers the jars by at least 2.5 cm. Process for 10 minutes and adjust the height if necessary. Finally, cool and store: Remove the jars and let them cool, undisturbed, for 12–24 hours. Ensure the lids are secure they should not pop off when pressed. Label the jars with the date.
