I actually have a thermometer that will sound an alarm if the temps go above or below a certain range (if I can remember how to set it!). <BR/><BR/>God, but that pot would be heavy. It would be a challenge to pull the rack out, put the jars into it, and then stick it back into the oven, and then the reverse. You'd almost need two people to keep from sloshing it.valereeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109328679669048231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145304480917779208.post-8582005606067704542008-07-24T16:49:00.000-04:002008-07-24T16:49:00.000-04:00I've heard that doing it in the oven is fairly foo...I've heard that doing it in the oven is fairly fool-proofAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145304480917779208.post-59848419483719683742008-07-24T13:45:00.000-04:002008-07-24T13:45:00.000-04:00Jen, funny you should ask!

I'm not sure she's a completely safe source of recipes, though. <BR/><BR/>The pasteurization process is a bit daunting. You have to hold the kettle at between 180 and 185 for 30 minutes. Short of babysitting it, I can't think how you'd manage that.valereeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109328679669048231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145304480917779208.post-42142847120698382922008-07-24T13:11:00.000-04:002008-07-24T13:11:00.000-04:00one more thing -- I wonder if pasteurization of lo...one more thing -- I wonder if pasteurization of low acid foods would work rather than pressure canning?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145304480917779208.post-27863903670559002922008-07-21T16:22:00.000-04:002008-07-21T16:22:00.000-04:00Darn!

How cool that you can find pickled peppers at the fm! <BR/><BR/>That recipe came from the National Center for Home Food Preservation. I was looking for a recipe that would impart no additional flavors to the pepeprs. I actually recently found another recipe I'd like to try -- it calls for honey and pickling spice. <BR/><BR/>Jen, I do like Joy of Pickling! The recipe I want to try next comes from that book -- Honeyed Jalapeno Pepper Rings. There's a similar recipe on the NCHFP site but it calls for pickling lime, which I don't have and am not sure I've ever seen anywhere. I may have to go looking for it.valereeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109328679669048231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145304480917779208.post-38959195491070204302008-07-20T22:47:00.000-04:002008-07-20T22:47:00.000-04:00I hope these turn out for you!

Thank you. I've got a crop of serranos on the back deck, thin skinned so I won't have to peel them and hopefully hot. <BR/><BR/>I bought pickled peppers at the farmers' market this last year when fresh were long gone and we ate them on everything and then they were sold out. This year I plan on being prepared.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck on the pressue canning and yes, please post about it. I've never done it either.Kale for Salehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02467378353738682141noreply@blogger.com
