Preserve your BANANA PEPPERS

As I stated before, either this was just a good year for peppers in zone 6a, or I've just figured out the secret of composting with chicken shit. I planted 2 Hungarian Banana Pepper plants, and bunnies ate them down to nubs after a week, and then they came back and now I'm overloaded. I've been eating a couple per week since July, but today I picked a couple dozen that are still out there.

I decided to can/pickle them. They're good on burgers and subs and stuff that way.

Step 1 create universe

Step 2 grow garden

Step 3: find a recipe you want to try:

Step 4: Pick your peppers

Step 5: start the vinegar solution to boiling while you cut your peppers. By the time you're done cutting you should have a boil. Use a funnel and fillem up.

That was a dozen-ish peppers. The recipe didn't make enough vinegar for 2 full quarts, so I downgraded one jar to a pint. Total work: 30 minutes (not counting creation of universe/growing garden).

In retrospect, not even sure why I started with quart jars. I have tons of pint jars and even smaller, I should have defaulted to those. Duh.
