SPICY STUFFED BANANA PEPPERS
Banana peppers can be very tricky: Sometimes they are hot and sometimes they are not. If you want to be on the safe side, I recommend using Bianca peppers instead, which are a more sweet type of pepper. -Danielle Lee, Sewickley, Pennsylvania

SAUERKRAUT STUFFED BANANA PEPPERS
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. :)

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!

PICKLED CABBAGE AND PEPPERS
This relish from "The Joy of Pickling" has replaced sauerkraut in our house. Sour, sweet, and spicy, it's great for topping hot dogs or as a side with sausage. Serve hot or cold. Editted to add: Feel free to substitute other commercial vinegars. I often use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, as white wine vinegar can be a bit expensive.

Steps:
- In a large bowl or cork, toss the cabbage and peppers with the salt. Cover and let stand in a cool place for 8-12 hours.
- In a non-reactive saucepan, combine the sugar and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then let it cool.
- Rinse the cabbage, and drain it well. Toss with the pepper flakes, mustard seeds and garlic. Pack the vegetable mixture firmly into pint mason jars. (the recipe as written generally makes about 4 pints. If you find you need more jars, you may not have packed firmly enough - and you'll need more vinegar mixture as a result.) Pour the vinegar mixture over the vegetables. Close the jars with hot two-piece caps.
- Process the jars for 20 minutes in a boiling water bath. Store the cooled jars in a cool, dry, dark place for at least 3 weeks before eating the cabbage.
Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Select firm, ripe banana peppers with smooth skin and no blemishes. Larger peppers are easier to stuff.
- Prepare the peppers: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Leave about 1/2 inch of the stem intact to help hold the filling in place.
- Make the filling: Combine cooked cabbage, ground beef, rice, onion, garlic, spices, and herbs in a large bowl. Mix well.
- Stuff the peppers: Fill each pepper with the cabbage mixture, pressing it down gently to ensure it is packed tightly.
- Prepare the canning jars: Wash and sterilize the canning jars and lids according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Pack the peppers in the jars: Place a layer of peppers in the bottom of each jar, then add a layer of the vinegar mixture. Repeat layers until the jars are full.
- Process the jars: Place the jars in a boiling water bath canner and process for the recommended time according to the recipe.
- Store the jars: Allow the jars to cool completely, then store them in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
