Brine for Canning Hot Peppers

 Sandra says:
Do you need to process the peppers in a boiling water bath?
For how long?
The recipe I have says to soak them over night in water and canning salt. When I can them, they turn out cloudy, and so I end up throwing them out. Can you help?

Hi Sandra,

Make sure you're using salt which doesn't contain anti-caking ingredients, such as canning salt. The caking ingredients may cloud the water.

Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

I have used this recipe for several years, I never process the peppers. I also omit the olive oil simply because it makes a greasy mess. I don't know what the 10 minute process would do for me. I always get a good vacuum seal on my jars.

I don't process. Just tip jars upside down once the lids are tightend and let cool. You should get a good vaccum seal every time.
