Sauerkraut Stuffed Banana Peppers image

I first had these when I was a nurse in CCU. Make them as soon as the peppers are either big enough to pick yourself or are available at a Farmer's Market! Eat them for the holidays to get the best taste! :) And the picture is not mine...it came from google. :)

BRINE:
3 c cider vinegar
2 c water
2 c sugar (adust to your taste)
THE REST OF THE INGREDIENTS
1 Tbsp minced garlic per jar
3 qt banana peppers (hot, sweet or combo)
1 jar(s) sauerkraut

Steps:

  • 1. PREP: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds. Mix your "brine" up and bring to a boil. It should be good and clear. Have your lids in hot water and bring your water to boil in the stock pot or canning bath.
  • 2. Directions: Stuff the peppers full with sauerkraut. Pack the stuffed peppers tightly in the jars. Put 1 tablespoon minced garlic in each jar. Pour brine, leaving at least 1/4-1/2 inch space at top of jar. Place the lids on top and hand tighten the rings.
  • 3. Process jars 15 minutes in hot water bath and BE SURE THE LID BUTTON is SUNKEN to ensure a good seal. If it is not depressed, either process it in the water bath again or eat them within a week, keeping them refrigerated!

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Banana peppers are the traditional choice for this recipe, but you can also use other mild peppers, such as bell peppers or Anaheim peppers.
  • Use fresh sauerkraut: Fresh sauerkraut will give your dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh sauerkraut, you can use canned sauerkraut, but be sure to rinse it well before using.
  • Add some sweetness: A little bit of sugar or honey will help to balance out the acidity of the sauerkraut. You can also add some chopped apples or raisins for sweetness.
  • Cook it low and slow: Simmering the sauerkraut for a long time will help to develop its flavor and make it tender.
  • Serve it hot or cold: Banana pepper sauerkraut can be served hot or cold. It's a great side dish for roasted meats, sausages, or fish.

Conclusion:

Banana pepper sauerkraut is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up fresh banana peppers and sauerkraut, and it's also a healthy and flavorful side dish.
