Directions
Hot or sweet, including chiles, jalapeno, and pimnto
Quantity: An average of 9 pounds is needed per canner load of 9
pints. A bushel weighs 25 pounds and yields 20 to 30 pints--an
average of 1 pound per pint.
Quality: Select firm yellow, green, or red peppers. Do not use soft or
diseased peppers.
Procedure: Select your favorite pepper(s). Caution: If you choose hot
peppers, wear plastic gloves while handling them or wash hands
thoroughly with soap and water before touching your face. Small
peppers may be left whole. Large peppers may be quartered. Remove
cores and seeds. Slash two or four slits in each pepper, and either
blanch in boiling water or blister using one of the following methods:
Oven or broiler method: Place peppers in a hot oven (400 degrees F) or
broiler for 6-8 minutes until skins blister.
Range-top method: Cover hot burner, either gas or electric, with
heavy wire mesh. Place peppers on burner for several minutes until
skins blister.
Allow peppers to cool. Place in a pan and cover with a damp cloth.
This will make peeling the peppers easier. After several minutes,
peel each pepper. Flatten whole peppers. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to
each pint jar, if desired. Fill jars loosely with peppers and add
fresh boiled water, leaving 1-inch headspace.
Adjust lids and process following the recommendations in Table 1 or
Table 2 according to the method of canning used.

The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these old records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have a couple of cookery books published in the 14th Century - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are nothing to do with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the upper classes of that time. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices led to an outbreak in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private collections. The introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Canning Peppers (Hot Or Sweet) recipe.
