    You mentioned being a gardener, keep the seeds and they will grow next year. Something I tried this year, I needed bell pepper seeds for the garden $1.90 for 30 seeds. I need a green pepper for chili so I went to the produce and got a pepper .74 cents it had roughly 90 seeds in it. Since I was planting anyway I decided to try both seeds, they all germinated at the same rate and both are in the garden growing green peppers. I'll never buy plants or seed again. As long as it doesn't come from overseas and gets radiated coming into the country it will grow.

      NO, NO, NO! Keep the Pepper Plant!! Transplant it into a pot you can store in the garage. Take ALL leave off, gently. Then transplant it back to your garden area in the normal time of planting the next year. MIGARDENER shows this in his video. IT WORKS! You get a head start on getting peppers because the plant is fully established and can produce fruit much quicker! Be sure to fertilize to give the plant a boost too!!

      @@turdferguson5300 When you say you are planting by the Almanac, what it really is involves planting by the phase of the moon. The moon's gravity is strong enough to cause our ocean tides. Therefore it stands to reason it could have an affect on a seeds ability to sprout, etc. On Amazon there are books to better explain the process of how and why to plant by the moon. I even have a handy dial tool that I can match up the calendar and it will tell me what phase we are in and what you should plant. Pretty handy when garden planning on paper

    I’ve found that the banana peppers are delicate and end up too soft for me if I slice them when I can them. So I cut my slices about 1”. I also like to mix the different peppers together. They look so pretty in the jars. Then I use grape leaves in the jars to keep the freshness, but not everyone has access to grape leaves.

    I'm glad to see someone else using the calcium chloride. I'm overseas, and tried to order the "pickle crisp" everyone seems to mention and it is astonishingly expensive imported into the UK (or on th UK Amazon, etc.). However, I looked at the ingredients and, presto (!), like you I am using it out of a little bag for vastly less money. It is specifically food grade and appears to also be used in dairy and brewing so wasn't hard to find. But, as it is a new prodcut to me, it's really good to get that little boost of confidence from seeing someone else use it. Thanks!

    Super simple suggestion: rather than digging in vain to try to get the seeds and core out, just cut the pepper in half! You can then just push the seeds, etc out with your finger, then cut them into rings. I keep seeing people struggle in video after video trying to accomplish what should be a very simple procedure. The bulk of the core is confined to the top half of the pepper. The "pointy end" has very little and a quick scoop with the paring knife cleans it right out.

    The plastic canning jar storage lids might also be helpful to get the bubbles out.

    Nice video - just tried canning for the first time last week, so good to see some confirmation that I did things right. :-) 2 questions - why different brines for the different peppers? Does it make that much of a difference in the final product? And I used about a 1:1 ratio of vinegar :water - you're using about a 3:1. Does that make them super acidic, or why use such a heavy vinegar ratio? Thanks!

      You need the acidity to water bath can. Do yourself a favor and buy yourself a canning cookbook so you know you’re doing it right.

    a tsp of tumeric in each jar will save you buying calcium chloride...adds a yellow color to the water and gives the peppers a crunch...

    That pepper is the variety you grow. Look for mucho nacho jalapeño or giant jalapeño

    For smaller batches, you can use a microwave for the initial sterilization of the jar(s). Just fill the jar 1/4 full of water and put plastic wrap on the top. Let the microwave boil the water and the steam will cure the rest. It only takes about 2 minutes per jar to sterilize.

    You could release the air bubbles with a skinny chop stick or skewer.

    Thanks for the video with good explanation. I'm trying to learn this skill, but still have a few questions specifically around how "hand tight" to screw on the rings. Your video made me question that even more around the 15:00 min mark when you put the jars in the pot submerged. Several of your jars have a constant stream of air bubbles coming out which means that the pot water is displacing that air and going into the jars. Is that normal? I wouldn't think you would want them to be able to mix like that.

    • @GreatLakesPrepping
      @GreatLakesPrepping  2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Hi Victor. This is normal. A big part of this process is as the contents inside the jar heat up, any air in the jars are basically forced out. The lids/rings are constructed in such a way that allows stuff to come out of them, but not go in. Water isn't displacing the air; the air is being pushed out by pressure.

    thanks for this, i have a small crop of banana peppers this year that i was wondering what to do with :). When i do my chillie and onion pickling (and also homebrew), i sanitise everything with chemsan (starsan in the usa) as i really dont like dealing with and fishing jars or bottles out of boiling water, and have never had any problems so far. What are your thoughts on this as an alternative to your method. thanks

    • @GreatLakesPrepping
      @GreatLakesPrepping  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Bob. I don't have any experience or knowledge in alternative ways to sterilize jars other than with steam/boiling water for heat canning. Unfortunately I can't speak to those methods.

    • @Bob-ts2tu
      @Bob-ts2tu 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@GreatLakesPrepping thanks anyway - FYI, chemsan (and starsan) and foaming sanitisers, you clean/wash the items first, then mix 10ml per 5 litres of water in a bucket and dip/wash the items that need sanitising, them leaving for 10 mins. you then drain (don't wash, don't fear the foam) and hey presto you are good to go. IMHO much simpler, faster and safer. you can keep the 5lts of liquid for a while and dont need to pour it away after, so it can be re-used. maybe you may like to give it a go sometimes, i never boil now, or use bleach, and have never had any preserved food or wine go bad on me.

    For those that don't know, always wear protective gloves when slicing jalapeno peppers. I learned the hard way and stayed up most of the night soaking my hands in cold water trying to relieve the burn.

      I am glad I am not sensitive to peppers like that. Makes cutting and working with peppers or kimchi paste so much easier.... however, the problems do occur if say I rub my eyes or nose... not pleasant.

      FYI I just had this happen and had to look up how to make it stop. Wash your hands in HOT water, hot as you can stand, to open your pores and let pepper juice out of your skin, alternate between scrubbing with an oil/grease cutting dish soap, and then scrubbing hands with olive oil mixed with salt. I alternated about 6-7 times. It completely took the burning pain away.
