Thanks dude! You grow a diverse mix of peppers, like I do and your videos don’t complicate a BJ. 2 thumbs up!

I appreciate that you 'advocated' people researching CANNING in general thus knowing what they're doing before following anyone's 'recipes'. SAFETY FIRST!!!

What a beautiful assortment in the jars!!! Great job!

[VirantRoss]

Wow, those things are picture perfect. He's got it down on growing them the right way.

Some commenters on here need to chill out lol. Lots snarky know-it-alls out there. Yes, you may do things differently, or think you know more about something, but just accept this is how the person in the video does things. It's ok to give suggestions and information, but please be nice in how you do it. Kindness is always in style. Stay classy! :-)

I was taught canning hot peppers from my grandmother-in-law.
I add garlic to the jars.
Processing in a hot water bath makes the peppers soggy.
Try this instead... Keep jars hot in boiling water - put peppers in the hottest tap water possible to bring up their temp - keep vinegar/water mixture boiling- keep lids in simmering water.
Do all these while canning 1 jar at a time!
You may want to get gloves as everything will be hot! (It doesn't bother me anymore)
Lids will seal with this method and you will get a crunchier hot pepper!

I like how you said to put slits in the peppers before canning and explaining why. I never thought of canning them whole, I’ve always sliced them. I hadn’t tried mixing my peppers either. It’s silly on my part, because I’ve canned jalapeños and sliced cucumbers in dill brine to make hot pickles. Since seeing your video, I’m going to mix my sweet and hot peppers whole. I’m hoping we will like them, because it will make canning them a lot easier! Great video! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for lovely recipe)) we preserve veggies, fruits in Ukraine all the time. I add some garlic to jars.

You don't need to worry about sweet pepper being hot because they are close to habaneros and such. You will only discover potential cross pollination when growing out the seeds from pods affected. There will be no changes on the first fruit.

Thanks for making this video, we are also in the Dallas County area and I'm researching different canning recipes as we are now getting loaded down with them and I need to preserve them somehow. You made this feel less intimidating for me. Peace & blessings!

Hey thanks for the video. One summer we planted 10 potting bags of ghost peppers and cherry tomatoes. OMW, we have dozens of pint jars canned by summers end. We found grow bags were the way to go.

I am so glad to see somebody else with very ripe jalapenos about the size of a habanero!

looking good.. the jars and the garden
