What are you canning now?

[BarefootMom]

so jealous we are still waiting on most pears to get ripe and the apples are nowhere near being ripe. It will probably be the first of October.

Mine's going in the crockpot too. I didn't have a vanilla bean so I cheated and put in vanilla extract.

Here is the recipe, but you can use it as a guide. I didn't have that many peppers and all of mine weren't hot, so if you like it hot use more hot peppers or you can add heat to it with cayene or hot pepper seeds n flakes. Mine turned out hot enough for me with a mix of hot cubanelle and banana peppers and a few Italian fry peppers. I also cut the sugar a little and the mustard. You can taste it as you go to your liking. Also I used clear jel. I don't think you can mess this up, it's an easy fix if you need to fix it.

HOT PEPPER BUTTER
Ingredients

36 hot banana peppers
1 quart cider vinegar
1 quart prepared mustard
6 cups sugar
1 cup flour (note: I will now use Clearjel – same amount)
1 cup water
Directions

Grind peppers finely (I put in food processor until they are a mush).
Place peppers, vinegar, mustard & sugar in a large pot & cook a while (until pepper bits are translucent). Add flour clearjel (that has been thinned to a smooth paste with cold water) to mixture in pot, stirring constantly. Cook until thick and smooth. Pour into hot jars, seal, boiling water bath fifteen minutes.

Happy Chooks... I been using it on sandwiches, but you could use it on meats, or as a dip. It's kind of like a sweet mustardy dip but with a peppery taste.

I'm really new to this canning business...what is Clearjel?

Edited to ask: What type of mustard did you use?

Garden Supply has a storage rack set up for potatoes , apples, etc, etc. I was wondering if any one has anything like that and how they work.

Where do you keep it?

Thanks,
