Best part of canning hot peppers is the juice. Frying deer back strap slices in the juice of canned peppers is heaven

[@GreatLakesPrepping]

I haven't done that before. Looks like I have something to try this November!

[@Peggysue1970]

I just got an early bd gift from my daughter, 2 packs of canning jars and a new canner.. I’m going to try and chunk up my deer meat this year and can it.. I’ve tasted canned meat before and it was so tender, maybe I’ll put a ring of banana pepper from my garden in the jar.. wonder how much would be needed.. sounds good tho, with today’s economy venison is the way to go

[@sassyherbgardener7154]

I know this video is older, but you don't have to boil the lids anymore! They actually have been advising against it for a while. Also, I would de-bubble with a chopstick for those. Tapping the sides does not help all that much, as the peppers need to be moved around a little. Your jars of peppers are beautiful!! I love the way you explain everything and point out all the safety measures. Great job!!!

[@GeorgiasGarden]

I’m still warming my lids regardless. Haven’t had a failure yet.

I'm enjoying the high speed slicing of the peppers. Avoids boredom yet still allows the zen of all those slices. Thanks..🙂

[@turdferguson5300]

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.

Love this! It's so sad that we aren't teaching every generation how to grow food and harvest seeds from food.

[@lidip8700]

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!!

[@classicrocklover5615]

@@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

@@classicrocklover5615 Exactly and it does make quite a difference. One year while Dad was still alive I planted okra with the signs.

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.

[@gretchenramsey9918]

Just an FYI…. Once you’ve determined that the seal is good, it is recommended that you remove the rings. This will give you piece of mind at the time you decide to take it off your shelf and the jar is still sealed securely! This is common practice among season canners for any canning… water-bath or pressure.

[@jackijax505]

Yep, I always remove the rings.

[@TheDealfinder500]

Yes! Because sometimes, if the jar goes bad and becomes unsealed, if the ring was left on it could eventually lightly seal again (due to temperature changes), and you'd never know otherwise!

[@geedubb-q1u]

We do the same with hot banana peppers. Excellent flavor.

[@published1789]

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!

[@GreatLakesPrepping]

For sure! When I started using it, I was trying to find a reason that I shouldn't, but like you said.... it's the exact same chemical name and everything. Some genius just decided to put it in a little spice container, label it "pickle crisp" and charge 10x for it!

Gotta be careful with calcium chloride because it does react with moisture in the air. Maybe separate the big bag of pickle crisp into several jars and then draw the air out of each. I use the Foodsaver jar sealer lids and plumb the air out with their Freshsaver pump.

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!

I'm not sure what star's pepper juice is. But if you're storing vegetables at room temp without having done a proper heat canning procedure, it's.... really dangerous. Consider yourself lucky that you haven't gotten very sick. If I correctly understand what you're describing, it's simply crazy.

What are your thoughts on this as an alternative to your method. thanks

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]

@@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.

[@countrylife9256]

If it doesn't seal can you take the lid off clean it and put a new one on and try processing it again?

[@GreatLakesPrepping]

Yes, for sure. Though, I usually don't re-process because the contents (in this case, peppers) end up getting overcooked and can start getting too soft or mushy. On the occasion that I have a jar that didn't seal, I tend to just stick that one in the fridge and use it first.

[@bigvic322]

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]

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.

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.

New to canning/ processing. As a student in your class, this may sound like a stupid observation, but that middle jalapeno jar had a dancing pepper seed. Was that the contents were still boiling? Or did THAT indicate the air trapped was having fun? Just asking IF air was trapped do we know it at this stage? Or just when we open it a year down the road and eat the tainted pepper? 🤣 Pickled pepper tummy rumble? I have an expensive glass cook top and I am scared too try pressure canning, but this method I can do. I boil things all the time. WOO HOO, going to look deeper into this! Thanks coach! (teacher).

[@GreatLakesPrepping]

Hi B, I never actually noticed that before. I had to go back and watch to see what you're talking about. I guess I don't know precisely why that seed was "dancing", but my best guess is that since it happened right after removing from the hot water (which is when the vacuum effect happens, as evident by the inward lid popping), there may have still been a little pressure escaping the jar, which I guess could cause that loose seed to move around. I've not ever really noticed that happen before. Sometimes the jar contents all float towards the top, if they're not packed in especially tight, but that one rogue dancing seed is new to me. Anyhow, those jars of peppers were all eaten within a few months of canning, and there were no problems.

[@b.walker5955]

@@GreatLakesPrepping Oh thank you for taking so much time to address my inquiry! It was mesmerizing to me. Kind of like following the bouncing ball...remember that? The only canning/preserving I have done thus far is dry canning / oven for pinto, white rice, oats, and lentils. Had to feel like I was doing something. Hearing those lids a popping sealed tight was very satisfying. The water bath canning will be my next venture. Pressure canning I think I have to leave to the professional die hard preppers. I run a little hot anyway, so both us blowing our stack would be detrimental to my kitchen ceiling. Oh, we grew cayenne and ghost last year and I have oven dried them left a large amount whole and grind on demand. Hope that is ok with dried pepper. They still look good.
