How to Make Banana Pepper Rings

  1. Wash and slice peppers into 1/4-inch thick rings. Remove seeds and membranes from hotter peppers if desired.
  2. Pack pepper rings tightly into clean, sterilized pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, sugar, salt, alum (if using), and turmeric. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar and salt are dissolved.
  4. Carefully pour the hot vinegar mixture over the peppers in the jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
  5. Remove any air bubbles by gently tapping the jars. Wipe the jar rims clean.
  6. Place lids on jars and screw on rings fingertip tight.
  7. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for accurate timing).
  8. Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying ‘pop’ as the jars seal.
