What do you do with banana peppers? My father in law decided we needed some in the garden. I've only ever grown green peppers which I eat fresh and freeze some for later. I've never grown banana peppers and have no idea how to preserve what he doesn't eat. And there will be plenty LOL! Instead of getting one plant he got 4!

Pickle them! They are delicious on a beef or Italian sausage sandwich!
Enjoy,

Dawn is so right - pickle them. I buy pickled banana peppers for sandwiches; sometimes they end up in homemade chili or a stew.

Very much agree with the others! I put them on my ham sandwiches. Sometimes even eat them by themselves. I really like them.

Do any of you have a tried and approved recipe for pickling them?

Oh how fun! We are putting a banana pepper in our garden this year, and honestly I am not sure what all I will be using them for!

Heather the only time I pickled banana peppers was in an "end of the garden mix". Besides the banana peppers I used carrots, onions, and zucchini squash. I used a bread & butter pickle brine. I did not have a recipe for the mix, but I did use the bread & butter pickle brine from Ball Blue Book. Canned in hot water bath and used the time from other pickle recipes.

Cut them up and freeze them. I canned some last year. Make a brine, slice and put in jars, and water bath. I don't remember if i got the recipe off the internet or kind of followed one in the ball canning book. But it is simple to do.

Thanks ladies - Sounds easy enough. I'll check through my books and see what I can find.

I would ferment them. But, I ferment anything that isn't nailed down, LOL.
Left to right: Pickles, giardiniera, snow peas (my new FAVORITE), and purple cauliflower with jalapeno.
If I had them, I would add banana peppers to the line up. |

Lisa, your jars of fermented goodness are beautiful. I need to get back to fermenting. Had a couple of bad batches awhile back and but all my fermenting gear back in the cabinet. Where did you get your fermenting lids? Maybe I need a new toy to get me back on track.

Thanks Lisa. I ordered the lids and plastic rings. I like the idea of plastic rings because like you said the metal ones do rust. Through the years I have learned to buy the best I can afford because in the long run it works out to cost me less and nine times out of ten does a better job.

Besides making some kraut a couple years ago I've never fermented. Might have to give it a try. Thanks for the idea, Lisa.

Banana peppers are so good. You can add them to salads, or throw some in stews. We use them on crackers and cheese for a snack.
