  • “My husband loved the flavor but said they were a little mushy cooked for 15 min, so now I just store them in the frig. instead of processing them”

  • “My sister and I made 35 1 liter jars of these pickes was very easy to make. the only comment I have is the recipe said hint wear rubber gloves it should of read warning!!wear rubber gloves our hands burned for 2 days and we could not even put them in hot water other than that the recipe was great Oh we also put the jars in the canner for 7 mins.”

  • “My husband and I made 7 pints of this recipe. We did NOT process them at all. Simply poured the hot liquid over the content of each jar and they sealed on their own)we boiled the liquid for 5 minutes). My husband says they are crunchy and everybit as good as you buy in the store. “TWO THUMBS UP”Options:We sliced rings of banana peppers in one jar and used the same liquid to cover. This is a very easy recipe. HINT:use disposable rubber gloves while handling the peppers.”

  • “It makes me sad to think how long I’ve been buying these at the store. Homemade is the way to go! I made three jars worth two days ago (with 1 tablespoon minced garlic in each.) At this time, there is one jar left. Really, Really, amazing. Thanks for the post:)”

  • “It has been several years since I put up peppers and used this recipe as a reminder when we decided to put some up this year. My family and I have always put up peppers this way. It can be used for jalapenos, bell peppers and just about any other peppers. My family does not hot water bath ours because we prefer a crispier pepper. We use the inversion method to seal the lids. We also allow ours to season no less than a month before we use them. No clue why just the way I was taught. Thanks Di, for posting this recipe. It is now safely tucked away in my personalcookbook! “

  • “I’ve been buying those sliced, pickled jalapenos from the grocery store for years and use them in just about everything: scrambled eggs, nachos, quesadillas, chili, you name it. This year, we had a bumper crop of jalapenos so I decided to can my own. So glad I found your recipe: it was one of the easiest, and yet came out EXACTLY like the ones I’ve been buying… but spicier! (That may be due to how many red jalapenos I included in each can.) One thing, I didn’t turn mine upside down. In the past, that’s caused the jar’s contents to float to the bottom and leave a ton of liquid on top. (That fixes itself when you open the jar but it’s still not too pretty on the shelf.)”

  • “Sooooo easy! I cored the jalapenos so that they can be stuffed at a later date. 🙂 We have so many peppers this year and this will certainly help to assure not a single one goes to waste! Thank you for posting!”

  • “Very simple & much better than store bought!I used garlic and a variety of hot peppers.I only processed for about 10 minutes so they wouldn’t get mushy.Will use this again & again – thank you!”

  • “These pickled peppers ARE just like what you buy in the store! A great way of preserving jalapenos. Thank you for a recipe I’ll be using again.”

  • “Oh Gosh, i just made a batch of these to use up my peppers in the garden before the frost hits, but now I wish I had more peppers, as this is a great recipe, and i know we will run out before next summer, if the fact that my husband ate 1/4 jar at one sitting is any indication !!!”

  • “Simply Perfect.I added 1 tsp of Italian Seasoning to the vinegar mixture plus 1/16th tsp of coarse salt to each 1/2 pint jar.I ended up with 8 jars total.You can’t buy peppers this good in the store.Along with recipe #17254 I’m all set.Thanks DiB for sharing such a wonderful recipe.I guess now that I’m canning my own…. Old El Paso just might go out of business :)”

  • “Wonderful! My Husband loved them!I never had to process them as they sealed on their own.Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!!”

  • “Perfect.I used this to can some home-grown hot banana peppers last fall.I waited to rate it until now, because I hadn’t used any.I used them in recipe #62180.Very good, just what I was looking for.”

  • “I pickled mine whole by cutting slits in each pepper.I also used red wine vinegar.Very good and tasty!”

  • “This is the recipe I always use.It’s so simple.I misplaced my recipe so I was glad to find this posted.I have never added garlic, but I might need to try that in the future!Thank you!”

  • “very very easy! loved it. I did add a couple of slices of garlic to receipe added extra flavor.I will save this one.thanks”

  • “So FAST & EASY & TASTY!!! I’ve used both pepper rings and whole peppers. I did add a few tbsps of horseradish for extra zip – we like em HOT! I had an assortment from the garden so I used a combination in both batches for added color. Thanks for sharing!!! DELICIOUS!!!”
