PICKLED PEPPERONCINI WITHOUT CANNING
Steps:
- Wash the peppers with cold water and allow them to dry. Put water, vinegar, sugar and salt into a soup pot. Bring to a boil over medium high heat and stir until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved. Reduce the heat to medium and add bay leaves, whole coriander seeds and black peppercorns. Chop the garlic into small chunks and add it to the pot. Allow this to simmer for five minutes. Leave peppers whole and pierce their sides three to four times. Place the peppers into storage jars and leave about 1 inch of head space. Pour the hot liquid into the jars containing the peppers, screw on their lids and allow the jars to cool before placing them in the refrigerator. Let the peppers marinade for at least a week before using. The pickle flavor will be stronger the longer they sit. Tips: The pickles will keep for several months in the refrigerator. Do not use if pressure develops in the jars or if the liquid becomes really cloudy and begins to smell. This can be a sign of contamination and the pickles are not safe to eat.

2-INGREDIENT PEPPERONCINI BEEF ROAST
This is a recipe DH and I begged off a former co-worker, Barbara, years ago. She brought it to a potluck, and our co-workers raved about it. It's a beef roast (your choice of cut) with a whole jar of pepperoncinis and juice dumped into a Crock Pot and cooked on low for 8 hours. The beef turns out amazingly tender and tangy but not spicy, and the peppers soften and absorb the juices wonderfully. Eat the beef with the pepperoncinis or without. Sometimes we serve it on burger buns or without. Left-overs are yummy too--cold or hot!
