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!
