Well, I am interested in your canning idea for your peppers. I normally just
freeze what I have but would like your recipe for doing this.
This year I use a package of seeds that just said hot mixed peppers and
well saying they are hot is a understatement. I made the mistake of taking a
bite out of a round one (which I thought was just an immature sweet green
pepper) and burnt my mouth.

Oops... and owch eh? G

I've always dried peppers, but I'll post over on RFC and see if Barb has
a canning recipe for them.

She cans _everything_!!!

AFAIK Barb doesn't can peppers. Canning them will not make them like
fresh peppers. Mostly you end up making a pickle of them as follows:

Cap the peppers so the pickle can get inside and out. Sterilize a jar,
fill full of peppers. Bring a pickle of 50:50 5% vinegar and water with
whatever pickling spices you might like to a boil. Pour over the peppers
in the jar and put on the lid and ring, hand tighten. Boiling water bath
for at least 5 minutes, take out and allow to sit on a folded towel for
24 hours. Should last up to two years with no problems.
