Preparing Pickled Banana Peppers
Wash the banana peppers, and make a small slit in the side of each one. Alternatively, you can cut the peppers in half and remove all of the seeds. Bell peppers can be used instead; cut them into strips, adding in some jalapeno added for a little extra punch.Pack the peppers in sterilized jars. For each jar, use one clove of garlic, one bunch of dill or one teaspoon of dill seed.
Bring the pickling mixture to a boil, pour it over the peppers and adjust the seal. Process in a boiling water bath for approximately 10 minutes. Tip: Heat the jar lids before you use them for best results.
