How to Make Sweet And Sour Hot Peppers

  1. Wash and sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Wash, slice, and remove seeds from 4 pounds of hot and sweet peppers (adjust amount based on your yield).
  3. In a large, non-reactive pot (stainless steel or enamel), combine the peppers with 2 cups white vinegar, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup salt, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds, 1 tablespoon celery seeds, and 1 teaspoon turmeric.
  4. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar and salt.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender-crisp.
  6. Carefully ladle the hot pepper mixture into the sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  7. Remove any air bubbles by running a non-metallic utensil around the inside of the jar.
  8. Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth.
  9. Place lids and rings on jars, tightening fingertip tight.
  10. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude - consult a canning guide for accurate timing).
  11. Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. Check seals by pressing down on the center of each lid; if it doesn't flex, it's sealed.
