Gardening, canning, pickling and everything related

Tex_77 Looking good, I didn’t plant a garden this year, miss the fall harvest. Did get a good crop of Granny Smith apples though.
-
Tex_77 Our peppers are still coming on strong & the only thing coming on. The Poblanos have bee ripening beautifully this year along with Jalapeno, Chili, Cayenne, & Cubanero. Yours look real nice. Hopefully you will still get more before it is all said & done.

bocephus sounds like apple butter for your Tost for the breakfast sausage you make
-
Tex_77 what are you going to do with them can or freeze ?
-
craigrice could question no idea, anyone have suggestions?
-
you could pickle them in serving / meal sized jars
-
Tex_77 We like smoking & drying the Cayenne, Chili, & even the Jalapolenos. Of course freezing is real easy for either the Cayenne or the Jalapolenos. Canning in oil/vinegar or water/Vinegar works real well. There is something special about the oil though that I like. Also, if we are going to get to them reasonably quick, but not too quick, we will take the remains of a big jar of pickle juice from the refrigerator, add a little extra Apple Cider Vinegar to the mix & fill it full of peppers, fresh picked. That is real handy for short term preservation & easy to access when you need them. The most wonderful for long term is the smoked/dried or dried as they will keep a long, long time, especially if you put one of those little desiccant crystal packets in the jar of dried peppers.

craigrice My wife has been making all kinds of apple butter, and had a great apple crisp. Also have given a lot of apples away to friends and family.
-
Tex_77 looks to me like they would go good in some brats. It is sausage season.

-
cdavis Now that sounds like a great idea. I even wondered about perhaps incorporating some Pecans as well as Peppers into a brat or sausage of some type.
-
Tex_77 could do some hot sauce. If they’re not to spicy by themselves use those for a nice base and add some with some real heat. Also like the drying and sausage ideas. Nice looking harvest.
-
cdavis Not sure that would be for me.

calldoctoday I do the same with the peppers. I freeze and can, but like having the oil and vinegar on hand. The great think about a bottle of vinegar is the shelf life. That oil really picks up the capsaicin and feels a little hotter.

GWG8541 Yes, there is something special about that oil that just brings the pepper flavor out more. Try smoking & drying them some time too. I think you will like it for preservation & keeping for easy soup & stew cooking or otherwise later.
