Tonight I did my first canning on the season.

One of my daughter’s favorite things in the world is pepperoncinis. This year I planted 4 pepperoncini plants, and so far they are producing really well. I had enough to make my first batch of pickled peppers. I also used chinese 5-color peppers as well.

I probably should have done half-pint instead of pint jars. Oh well, I’m sure the flavor won’t taste any different. I plan on giving it about 2 weeks before letting her try them.

I also have some lemon cucs that are awaiting pickling, hopefully tomorrow night.

My recipe was …

3 cups of white vinegar

1 cup of water

1.5 tsp salt

2 cloves of garlic

1/2 bay leaf (split in two)

peppercorns and mustard seed

I’ll update once I know if this one is a keeper
