My peppers did terrible this year. I'm going to pull them up to make more space for fall plantings.

[@foodprepguide]

That’s been me in years past!

[@deborahtofflemire7727]

I prefer ball lids. In Canada the others are very expensive.

[@deucecoupe700]

No worries. Thanks for looking also. 😊

[@justbychance7012]

Save all you can!!!

[@foodprepguide]

For sure! ❤️

[@suestrozyk8495]

Do you have a link for the scoop you used when you were putting the freeze dried peppers into the mason jars?

[@foodprepguide]

I got that scoop many years ago (pretty sure at a thrift store). But the reason why I love it is its narrow, cylinder shape and overall size, and this one is similar to that - amzn.to/3XgKALO Hope that helps! :)

Great Video. Just wondering if I can omit the salt for the pickled pepper recipe. Thank You. Mary Ann

[@foodprepguide]

Yes, you can. The salt doesn’t play a role in preserving in this recipe. 🙂

I don’t like to add sugar to my recipes. Does this salsa recipe have to have the Sugar?

[@foodprepguide]

No, you can leave it out. I'm just not sure how the end product would taste. :)

[@sherquakkelaar9280]

What is the fish emulsion that you made/used? First year newbie here.🙂

[@foodprepguide]

This is the brand I use - amzn.to/41UdZes Welcome to the gardening world! Be prepared to never leave. 😂

[@carolhesterberg7526]

The salsa recipe sounds great! I'm assuming that it can used in a pressure canner? Since I have an electric stove top, I cannot use a water bath canner. How would I find out the number of pounds of pressure and the processing time?

[@foodprepguide]

You could, yes, at 10 to 11 pounds pressure for 10 minutes for pints. Interesting. I have an electric stovetop, and I water bath can all the time, yet I’m nervous to use a traditional stovetop pressure canner on it! Lol

[@carolhesterberg7526]

@@foodprepguide Thanks! I had a water bath canner once and the water never reached the boiling point on my cooktop, so I looked at the canner's booklet and it said that it was not to be used on a ceramic cooktop, so I've switched back to pressure canning only. Perhaps your canner has a different design?

[@BettyBuskirk]

Your peppers in the “sandwich spread”look like hot peppers. Are they?

[@foodprepguide]

No, they are all sweet peppers - a blend of Jimmy Nardello, Giant Marconi, and California Wonder bell peppers. 🙂

[@michellewilliams1014]

Are there recipes I can print?

[@foodprepguide]

We have printable recipes over on our blog! Here's one for the salsa shown in this video - foodprepguide.com/best-mild-salsa-for-canning/ I haven't published the sandwich spread one yet. When it's live on the site, I'll link it in the description box of this video. :)

[@caroldragon7545]

What makes the steam canner preferable to a pressure canner or water bath for the pickled peppers? By the way, I had never even heard of a steam canner before watching this video. Live and learn!

[@foodprepguide]

A steam canner is only an alternative to a water bath canner. I prefer it because it heats up quickly, so it reaches the canning point faster, making the whole process of canning quicker. 🙂 I only discovered it about 2 years ago!

[@caroldragon7545]

@@foodprepguideThanks for your reply. I checked on Amazon a few minutes ago. They look interesting, but I think I'll stick with my water bath canner and save about 80 bucks.

[@wilmagutierrez7195]

@@caroldragon7545the steam canner save time as you use about 3 inches of water, so it heats much quicker allowing to to a quicker turn around with multiple batches. You can really see the difference when processing water bath & steam canner at the same time & can double stack too. Also saving water. I believe well worth the investment to save time every single batch. Happy canning

[@foodprepguide]

Inflation is horrendous. It was $40 when I bought it, and that was only 2 years ago. :(

[@deucecoupe700]

Can you find a safe recipe for Candied Jalapeños with Pineapple? I'm having trouble finding anything. Thanks in advance:)

[@foodprepguide]

I can't find a tested, published one either. Wish I could be of better help!

[@debbiemoore9069]

Experiment: maybe try adding jalapenos to the zucchini pineapple recipe make a small batch see how it goes

[@brendamarshall7919]

Why don’t you just pressure can your recipes if there’s a chance the acidity is off. I pressure can almost everything. It’s easier to me than trying to figure out the acidity level in a recipe. Water bath canning (my opinion) is too much hands on. When I’m doubt I just pressure can and have everything timed and able to walk away (in the house) and work in other things while the canner is working. Just wondered.

[@foodprepguide]

I do pressure can everything that should be pressure canned. The “not just sandwich spread” recipe has a large amount of vinegar in it and was very much acidic as the pH strip indicated. The reason why I didn’t want to pressure can that recipe is because I don’t love the taste of pressure canned tomatoes. I can’t quite put my finger on the taste or how to best describe it, but it’s almost like they taste overcooked. 🤷‍♀️

[@brendamarshall7919]

Ahhh I see
