To guarantee the most delicious preserved foods, always begin with the best-quality produce at its peak of ripeness.
NEXT, LET'S CAN IT!
Pack the hot peppers into a hot jar, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Ladle the hot liquid over the peppers, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Add 1/8 teaspoon Ball® Pickle Crisp® Granules to a jar, if desired. Remove air bubbles. Wipe the jar rim. Center the lid on the jar. Apply the band, and adjust to fingertip-tight. Place the jar in the boiling water canner. Repeat until all the jars are filled.
Process the jars in 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Turn off heat; remove the lid, and let the jars stand 5 minutes. Remove the jars and cool.
