How to Make Jarred Banana Pepper Rings
To can banana pepper rings, start with several banana peppers. You can use hot or mild banana peppers for this recipe. Slice the peppers up roughly a quarter of an inch or half a centimeter thick. I leave the seeds in the peppers since I was using mild banana peppers.
Fill pint mason jars
Next pour the vinegar over the peppers, salt, and sugar. Yes, sugar for just a little sweetness. Fill the jars about โ full of vinegar. This is roughly โ -1/2 cup of vinegar.
Fill the remainder of the jar with filtered water. Then cap the top of the jar. A metal ring and lid can work just fine. I also like using plastic lids
Variations to Jarred Peppers
These jarred peppers can be made in multiple different ways. Here are some ways to change it up
- Hot Pepper - Use hot banana peppers or even jalapeños in place of the mild banana peppers
- Spicy - Add whole black peppercorns or even red pepper flakes to make the mild peppers have a hint of spice. Adding green chilies could work too.
- Add Veggies - Radishes, onions, and carrots with the peppers are a great combination for the top of tacos or even in burritos.

Hello! Can I use a jar without a ring seal? Would that be safe?

Since these won't seal completely anyway, this should be fine.

Just wondering if anyone has tried no sugar? Should I sub anything or I am I safe just no sugar?

No sugar is just fine. It just sweetens it a tiny bit.
