How to Make Banana Peppers Stuffed With Sauerkraut

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry 1 pound of banana peppers. Cut them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of sauerkraut (drained), 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of caraway seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Mix well.
  3. Stuff each banana pepper half generously with the sauerkraut mixture.
  4. Pack the stuffed peppers tightly into a clean, sterilized pint jar.
  5. Pour remaining sauerkraut mixture over the peppers, ensuring they are fully submerged. If necessary, add more apple cider vinegar to cover completely.
  6. Top with a clean lid and ring.
  7. Process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes (adjust according to your altitude). Let cool completely.
  8. Store in a cool, dark place. Allow flavors to meld for at least 2 weeks before serving for optimal taste. Enjoy!
