Pickled Peppers:
Happy Sandy's Kitchen

We like sliced hot peppers, especially when we get hungry for some nachos 😀

This batch is a variety of hot peppers - you can use whatever kind you like or are growing or have available to you!

Public Service Announcement:
PLEASE WEAR GLOVES WHEN HANDLING HOT PEPPERS!

Ingredients -

Jalapeño peppers - or cayenne, habanero, chili, etc...

2 Cups White Vinegar

2 Cups water

2 Tablespoons canning salt

Directions:

Cut the stem off the peppers

Slice or dice the peppers - if you leave the seeds in it you will have hotter peppers so you decide if you want to remove the seeds or not.

*Please wear gloves when handling hot peppers and don't touch your eyes!*

Make the brine:

Put the Vinegar, Water, and Salt into a pot and bring to a boil. Boil gently for a couple of minutes.

Get the water heating in your water bath canner - you need enough water so the water is over the top of the jars by at least an inch.

I fill my clean jars with hot water and put them in the canner while I'm making the brine - this keeps my jars hot and ready.

Also it's a good idea to add a splash of vinegar to the water in your canner or you can add 1/8 teaspoon of cream of tarter instead of the vinegar. Both work equally well ... this helps keep your jars from getting cloudy. The vinegar or cream of tarter goes in the water in the canner and not in the jars.

When the brine is ready remove your jars from the canner using your canning tongs and pour out the water that is inside the jars.

Fill your clean hot jars with your sliced peppers, I used pint size jars - 16 oz. with the this batch peppers but I sometimes use the jelly size jars 8 oz.

Ladle the hot brine over the peppers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.

Wipe the rims of the jars with a damp paper towel to remove any food residue.

Put on lids and bands, tightening the bands to finger tip tight.

Put the filled jars in the hot water in your water bath canner.

Bring the water to a boil.

When the water is boiling begin timing - process 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.

When the time is up turn the burner off and let the jars sit in the water for 5 minutes.

Use your canning tongs and lift the jars out.

Place jars on a clean towel.

If you use Superb lids like me, you will soon hear the deep "POP" sound letting you know the jars have sealed. I still say YAY every time a jar seals! 🙂 ❤ You can find Superb lids on their website, don't forget to use our special code HappySandy20 to get a 20% discount on their lids and jars! superbsealing.com

When your jars are cooled and sealed,

Remove the band,
wipe the jars clean,
and be sure you label the jars with the contents and date.

And yes - I removed the bands off of these jars. They had gotten put on the shelf (for me) before I had taken the bands off but, I fixed that right away! ❤ 🙂

Nachos Anyone?

Enjoy!!

Hey that’s us! Still fan geeking out at the charm of Smoot’s Farm! Shared tips and tricks with follow gardner..… loved meeting you too Julie!

I tell y'all what. We have been feeling the love this week! Not only are we having an amazing week of sells at the farm stand - Thank you everyone!

I have to tell y'all a sweet story. A few weeks back - month or so ago Barry sold a blade sharpener to sharpen his sawmill blades. Barry upgraded to a more automated one but the one he had worked great so he listed it on Facebook Marketplace. The family that came to purchase the sharpener was so sweet! Mom, Dad and 3 children came to pick it up. I talked the poor mom's legs off (ok, don't act shocked) while she was here. Fast forward to this week. I saw several cars out at the farm stand so I strolled out to see if anyone had any questions or needed anything. Guess who drove from Stockbridge to bring her mom, sister and nieces and nephews that were visiting from Texas to come see me! It was so good to meet them all . It made me happy that they took their limited time here to come visit our little farm stand.

We also had someone dropped off a load of one gallon pots this week.

Another friend wrote and asked if I needed heavy duty plastic produce baskets. - We do, badly!

Another friend brought us today... fresh caught today... Catfish!

And I finally got to meet my Facebook friend Brandi that owns Juliette Farms and she brought me this beautiful bottle of pepper sauce that she made. Y'all go follow Juliette Farms. They are actually located more in Bolingbroke Georgia than near downtown Juliette. I want to get by there and see her soon. She hopes to have her beautiful birdhouse gourds and corn stalk bundles this fall.

Thanks everyone, your support and generosity does not go unnoticed!
