How to Make Pickled Sauerkraut Stuffed Banana Peppers
- Wash banana peppers thoroughly. If using hot peppers, wear gloves. Cut off the tops and carefully core out the peppers.
- Pack each pepper tightly with drained sauerkraut.
- Place stuffed peppers into clean, sterilized pint-sized mason jars.
- In a saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and 2 cups vinegar. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C). Place jars in a baking pan and pour boiling water into the pan, coming halfway up the sides of the jars.
- In a separate pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
- Carefully pour the boiling water over the peppers in the jars. Let stand for 5 minutes, then pour off the water.
- To each jar, add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 tablespoon oil, 2 teaspoons pickling spice, and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric.
- Carefully pour the hot sugar and vinegar solution over the peppers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean, and seal with lids and rings. Tighten fingertip tight.
- Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. This ensures preservation.
- Remove jars from water bath, allow to cool completely. You should hear the jars “pop” as they seal.
- Let the jars stand at least one week before eating. Best served cold, but unopened jars can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 year.
