A friend gave me banana peppers because she said no one will eat them in their house. I turned the peppers to pickles using this recipe. Soooo good! Thank you!
The timing on this was superb. I just had a huge harvest of banana peppers. Thanks for sharing. This was exactly what I wanted to know.
I love saving the pickle juice from my favorite pickles from a jar and i put my sliced sweet Banana peppers in the pickle juice and they come out great!
Thanks for the video!
garlic and dill are absolutely required!
I should have watched this before going to the store this morning, now I have to go back and get some banana peppers haha
Great timing for pickling and powder videos! Thank you both for the awesome content!
This came out just in time for my Hungarian hot wax peppers! Thanks!
Those have been hard to eat for me
Great video. I love the lay out of your kitchen BTW.
Thanks!
That looks super easy. Thanks guys
Beautiful peppers, thanks for the show.
Great video. I’ll definitely be making this. Thank you!! 😊👍
Oh my! I'm already tasting this just by watching, looks tasty.
Thank you… Simple and concise instructions with some added information… Video well done
You make it seem so much easier than some of these ppl make it sometimes.. good job
Awesome video, thank you Pepper geeks!
Thanks for all your pepper wisdom starting last fall when I saved peppers over for the first time… : ) … after many setbacks, I’ve realized that peppers don’t get tired of trying to grow… I have to not grow tired of learning the fine art… I, Fred am a Pepper Head. The peppers survived and thrived!… Go Geeks : ) 🐸
Such a clear, calming voice. Great vid 👍
Informative videos, makes me look forward to growing peppers when I get my own place.
Thanks for sharing this since I just harvested some peppers and watching videos to get ideas for storage.
so close to my deli style pickled peppers - im hoping to do a batch of this today.
Made a batch this evening! We camp home from a camping trip and all my hot pepper plants had grown like crazy!
Perfect! 👍 Easy peeezy!
Perfect timing. About to start harvesting my first batch of banana peppers. Stay safe this weekend.
Sounds good - thanks, you too!
Made a quart of these last week and am now planning on adding more banana pepper plants to my garden next year. Fabulous recipe! Many thanks for sharing
Always a great video.
I made this recipe. Amazing result! Thank you so much.
Glad you liked it!
Pickles? Fantastic
Great recipe! Can't wait to try this. Cheers from Minnesota!
Yay.. sounds yummy...
sweet you guys! thank you. i'm headed out to pick some peppers!
Thanks for the video. I will try this tomorrow.
Hope you enjoy :) we actually just made our first batch of the year, still one of our favorites!
Tried this recipe and came out great i added turmeric and dill. They are addictively good.
Great to hear, sounds like a good addition of flavors
Thank you I'm going to make
Hope you enjoy!
Awesome video, thank you for the lesson…..
Thanks!
Cubanelle should live in a gar also!
Great instructions and I will be doing some for out of season flavor.
Thank you " Pepper Folks."
Peppers are my favorite
fantastic video. i learned a lot.
Guys, that crunch sounded so "sweet", LOL. I can't wait to try this recipe. Seriously, you are my go-to for pepper knowledge. Have a great day.
Yeah it was right up in my ear there. Kinda like that asmr stuff all the zoomers are listening to
This is the year of pepper abundance in my garden this summer (still haven’t got a ripe tomato, though ☹️). So glad to see this video. Pickled peppers were on our table most days when I was a kid. Definitely going to make this recipe. Thanks.
Swap? In the UK my tomatoes are ripening nicely, peppers weren't happy this year though. Plenty of ann and bac, but it's not looking like I'll even get a flower on any of the chinense varieties.
Right on bud im growing peppers for the first time and im hoping I will have enough to make this worthwhile!!!!
Chopsticks perfect. Thanks. I've been harvesting hundreds each week.
😦 Nice!
Amazing!
Thank you very much you are so awesome thank you very much for sharing everything and a amazing recipe I’m just starting growing peppers and you guys are amazing 🤩
Excellent, hope you enjoy the recipe and keep growing peppers!
That crunch :o
Trying this for my first time pickling anything! Planted both banana and jalapeños this year and needed something to do with them.
Good video. Well done
I swear you all are in my head. I just bought the stuff to pickle my banana peppers. I’m happy I waited to try your recipe.
😂🔮 Hope you enjoy!
😉 thank you!!
Awesome
Great video! Even though it's a year old, I thought I'd add a twist to it. I experiment a lot with adding different spices to the pickling brine such as tumeric. If you enjoy Asian cuisine, one of my favorites is to add curry powder. I know that may sound odd but they are really good!
Not odd at all, sounds like a delicious take on it!
Funny I just did that exact thing too
Quick pickled banana peppers are my favorite! Thanks for the video! I usually follow about the same recipe but I’ll throw a super hot in one jar to really up the spice. Cheers!
Yep that does the trick too - gotta get the heat in there somehow
Ol' pepper ranger in the comments
Hey guys, I did hot banana peppers as well. Super awesome
Well done! Pretty much the same recipe Mom always used minus two dill heads.
I always love pickling that involves no pickling
Thanks😁🌶🌶
Thanks! Going to do some banana peppers
Hope you enjoy! Let us know how they turn out.
It’s so true I found banana peppers to be lacking in sweetness and it wasn’t until I missed one that ended up ripening to a brilliant red that I discovered was when they were super delicious now I pick them once they begin to have a slight orange and any color variation after that. I found them to still be lovely and crunchy enough for me but everyone is different. Anyway just thought I’d mention. I’ve got one banana pepper plant that I’m growing indoors hydroponically and it’s producing soooo many peppers it’s fantastic!! I really like this pepper plant for indoor growing because I can heavily trim the leaves and it just focuses it’s growth on growing peppers instead of replacing the leaves the way lunchbox sweet peppers or bell peppers tend to do. Also did you know if you are growing a pepper plant in a garden you can cut stems from it and shake off all insects and bring it indoors and put the stems in water and they will grow roots and begin growing their own pepper plant!! I learned this recently and it’s so much faster then beginning from seed! So I’m always going to be able to keep this plant growing for many many years to come it’s over a year old now and still producing. I’m absolutely amazed I was able to do this! The only “fancy” equipment is a 70litre storage container with a lid that I cut a small hole in the middle and wrapped the whole thing in aluminum foil shiny side out to ensure no algae in the water. Then popped the plant in and wrapped tin foil around the stem to give it extra support and in the water I used hydroponic nutrients as per instructions on bottles I used general hydroponics brand. And a full spectrum cheap $50 grow light and banana peppers year round!! I’m loving this!! Next up banana pickles!!! ❤️ I’m new to indoor growing and I also found that getting an air stone with an air pump gives the roots more oxygen and the plant is loving it! I can’t remember the prices but definitely no more then $50 and that’s the air pump with 4 valves and air stone and air tubing. Thank you soooo much for this recipe! I may get a few more banana pepper plants growing now that I have a way to use them besides just fresh which we absolutely love! No need for them to ever go into a fridge until now in a jar…LOL! Mother inlaw won’t be too happy because she was getting my over abundance but won’t be anymore. Lol pickled peppers I’m making this today!
So glad to read your comment. I’m just getting ready to do this. I found a four port pump with air stones for $26 on Amazon. I got frosting buckets free from the bakery department at my local grocery store. I found 6 grow lights that are 24” long for $70 on Amazon. I start my seeds in a tabletop hydroponic system to move into the DWC buckets. In addition to the banana peppers I plan on growing parthenocarpic cucumbers and maybe some other peppers. I’m growing micro dwarf tomatoes, lettuce, and herbs in other tabletop hydroponic systems. Most of this is set up in a large walk-in closet but I have some of the really small tabletop systems with my house plants. I like the one with lavender in the bedroom.
New SUB!! This is just in time for me to make use of all m banana peppers. Thanks and I like our channel.
What a pleasant alternative to videos with insipid music trax throughout.
Luv the simplicity.
I mostly just do pickled jalapenos, but very similar brine. One thing I'd recommend is using apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar. I find it adds a bit more nuance to the flavour and it's a bit less cloying without even needing to add as much sugar, but if yours is less than the 5% acidity just increase the vinegar:water ration a bit to balance it out.
I used apple cider vinegar as well. Also, I try and cut back on whatever sugar is recommended in a recipe. Another great and timely video. Thank you.
I recently tried rice wind vinegar. Has a real nice flavor and less cloudy then apple cider.
@@tomc8115 hard to cut back on a tbsp but I here you. Did you know has more sugar than the avg person in the early 1800s has in 5 days
Also, the flower end should be removed . The enzymes reside there.
Growing banana peppers and really hope they produce enough peppers to do this with bc this looks delicious can’t wait to use this this summer thanks for the video !
Heck yeah! You’re going to have a great harvest and I hope you love the pickles 😄
@@PepperGeek I’ve got 6 already and 3 jalapeños so I came back to make this!! Thanks for the content!!
People use all sorts of different seeds, berries, spices, and vinegars to nudge pickles into different directions. I recommend experimenting, lotsa fun. Juniper berries are my latest - they add a subtle mystery flavor that no one can identify.
I usually replace part of the water with white wine. It's great.
😯 Now that is good thinkin...
WOW!! that crunch is soo inspiring! Can’t wait too try this…still trying too figure out colour…Canada has such a short season….any brand of f seeds that you guys can recommend that I can get from Canada?
Have sweet now, but prefer hot!
🥰
I use Hungarian wax peppers with same receipt, much better with the spicy heat….great video….!!
Mouth watering! Thanks for the video. What are some variations or other spices to try?
You can try turmeric, dill, oregano, bay leaf or coriander. Experiment with different pepper additions for different flavors. Enjoy!
I’ve tried this recipe a few times and the one change I’ve made is adding a few halved jalapeños to the brine when bringing to a boil. It’s the only way I’ve found to give the rings a decent kick
We usually use most of our banana capsicums along with our bell capsicums, might have to save a few. We are also going to try mild paprika this year, wonder if that will offer enough kick.
Definitely put a porch on it 👍🏻
Pickled hot banana peppers have been my favorite since I was a kid many moons ago. Try adding some star anise in with your spice on a jar. Don't think you'll be disappointed.
I use them fresh from my garden in my salad’s and on sandwiches. Go light even though they are sweet they do have a slight bitterness, but that is usually taken up by the salad dressing or with sandwiches rhe mayonnaise. I use maybe 1/2 to 3/4 in salads or on sandwich

I sometimes take bread and butter pickles when empty and slice up jalapenos and put in the juice. Wonder what bread and butter banana peppers would taste like?
U can also put jars in a 250 deg oven for 15 mins and theyre sterilized
i know this was last years video but i planted sweet banana peppers next to sweet bell peppers and i think it might have crossed because i got a few red sweet banana peppers and also I live in Pennsylvania and our garden didnt do so well this year hopefully next year would be better
Sweeeeeeet ✊🏾😎
I made your recipe, no sugar... amazing!! Thanks for sharing this recipe... you're awesome!! Question, what can i do with the left over liquid, after all the peppers are used? It smells amazing and I'm hoping not to waste it if possible. Can i use the liquid to make another batch?
That’s great that they were tasty without the sugar! You can reuse the brine as long as you’re doing the quick pickles and not long term canning.
Also great to pickle thinly sliced carrot sticks! We reheat the brine before pouring over the carrots. Store in fridge. Or use a mix of cauliflower florets, sliced carrot, red bell pepper, etc. Probably great with baby okra, too, though we haven’t tried that yet.
I pickle peppers every year. I do not boil the brine but mix it all at room temperature. I pack my jars after I run them in the dishwasher first to clean them. Then I pack my peppers into them and add the brine. I made a vacuum sealer out of an old pressure cooking pot and use my vacuum pump from my air conditioning tools with it. I loosely set the boiled lids on the jars and just screw the bands on them until the lids just make contact with the jar loosely. I place them into the pressure pot and put the lid on. I then place a vacuum pump on the pot until it is at a vacuum. Then when you release the vacuum on the pot you will hear all the jars click shut. I then tighten the rings just a small amount more and store the jars in a cool place. We've had jars that are good for more then two years this way. They may keep longer but I never can keep them to long before we eat them all.
Works great with some chunked fresh pineapple and fresh cilantro!
I definitely should have watched this before I started my process. I’ve been here for hours getting the veins and seeds out AFTER cutting them into rings… 🤪🥴
i love my seeds and get as many as i can in the jar,
Serrano peppers are another good choice for pickling.
Yes they are!
P.s. Blending in pickled peppers to your favorite dip recipe goes great with veggies like sliced bell peppers or cucumber chips. Cool treat with a little heat!
Just planted me some sweet banana peppers
mm you don't salt them first like cukes? Also I didn't used to use a lot of sugar but people kept asking for more sweetness.. what do I know lol !
I've been canning for years but always looking for new tips.. thanks PG, beautiful technique!
I used to go 1:1 water vinegar, how do you like 1:2? Thanks!
Can you also make this recipe with whole peppers instead of slicing them?
AMAZING, BANANA PEPPER THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜
What is the best way to store peppers while I wait to get enough of a harvest to can? I know you can freeze tomatoes whole, can you freeze peppers?
USDA is your best source for preserving peppers long term. Letting them sit in the fridge for 2 weeks before opening, yields the best tasting, my opinion.
2C 5% or higher vinegar, 1C water is below 4% acid and does not have to be refrigerated, but certainly can.
god damm!!! looks tasty! the pickled banana peppers looks yummy as well
Total geek
What do you use them with besides salad? I am a newbie to peppers.
I did make these and did the water bath. There was a small jar left over so after they cooled we tasted them. They were so soggy it was awful. So I guess you have to use the pickle crisp if you want crispy peppers canned? And I so wanted to do natural. Any suggestions???
Hi, if I get the seeds out of a pickled pepper from a store bought jar, can I sow them?
I bought kosher but when I got home I noticed it had anti-caking agents.
I found a brand called 'Diamond' that specifically states that it has no anti-caking agents.
Y’all should make nachos recipe video using these
yummmm, good idea
Can I pickle peppers as they become mature? In other words, can I pickle some now and others later when they are ripe and ready to be picked? Mine are quite staggered in the garden. Just making sure the amount of brine won’t overwhelm only 1-2 peppers at a time. Thanks!
I tried this recipe and they turned out great. Four XL ripe, yellow banana peppers plus one large jalapeño was enough to pack one large Mason jar. I have about a quarter of the jar left now and was going to try frying the remaining ones. Have you guys ever tried frying them? Seems simple enough just draining and coating in seasoned flour. Thanks.
Fried banana peppers are delicious!
Harvested my first round if banana peppers and did this. Thanks!!! Is it possible to do this in another variety of peppers? I have an abundance of shishito and anaheim.
We have pickled shishitos, but they have very thin walls, making for a different texture. Still definitely possible though!
I always have trouble with pickling. My end product always turns out super mushy. I’m not sure if I should let the brine cool down before putting it over the peppers or not?
