Directions
Pickled Pepperoncini, Mildly hot, addictive, medium peppers for Greek salads It has been very difficult for me to resist eating these as fast as I put them up They are the star of the year from my 2013 garden I will pickle as many as I can, give very few away, and grow Pepperoncinis again next year!, Making these for the second time I really like this recipe! Good quality olive oil on top makes them extra special The first two jars we ate within two days I water processed one jar and they were mush Without water processing they are amazing and off the charts delicious! The second batch I added some dried Italian herbs and dried dill We will see how that goes used the pickling mix for one quart of pepperoncini and a quart of cucumber and onion as a quick pickle to use in the next few days because I really like the proportions of vinegar and salt in this recipe I have two pepperoncini pepper plants that are quite prolific so I am hoping for lots more , These are fantastic! Super easy Didnt have a canners do used a stock pot Couldnt wait 3 weeks so opened a jar at a week No one can eat just one
