It’s easy to preserve your yellow banana peppers, using the tips and easy pickled peppers recipe below.
My family has grown to love banana peppers on our pizza, salads, and even sandwiches.
So while I was picking out plants for my garden, I was excited to see banana peppers. I knew for sure I wanted to plant those.
They’ve been growing wonderfully!
I picked one when it looked to be pretty ripe and took it in the house eager to try it on my salad.
EWWWW!!!
This pepper did not taste anything like the canned banana peppers I love.
I soon found out that I needed to do something to them to get them to taste the way I had expected them to taste.
So I began to look for an easy pickling recipe that a complete beginner could handle.

I had a simple recipe. So easy, it almost seemed too simple.

Canning Banana Peppers
Before you get started making your homemade pickled peppers, you’ll need to gather your jars and make sure they’re ready to go!
Sterilize canning jars in advance with boiling water or hot steam.
To preserve peppers, also sterilize the lids in boiling water – both the tops of the lid and the rings.
If you don’t plan on storing canned peppers for a long time, you can skip this step.
In this case, store pickled banana peppers in the refrigerator.
How to Make Pickled Banana Peppers
Before starting, gather up all the ingredients needed!
Step 1: Arrange mustard seeds, peppercorns and coriander seeds in jars.
Step 2: Mix water, salt and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until the salt and sugar crystals dissolve.
When the water boils, pour in the vinegar and after a minute turn off the heat.
Step 3: Fill jars with chopped banana peppers.
Step 4: Peel the garlic from the husk, cut it into slices and arrange in jars.
Step 5: Pour the very hot marinade over the banana peppers, covering the peppers completely.
Step 6: Cover the jars with lids and tighten with rings. Leave on the table until it cools completely, and then put it away for storage in a cool dark place.
I am planning to try this with the abundance of cucumbers I have. Plus I would love to try salsa and tomato sauce too. And I know once my beans start coming I’ll can those too!
I can’t believe I was ever intimidated by canning.

I’m always reading all these comments on all these post from canning about hot water baths a pressure canning and it not being safe to eat if you don’t!!!! We’ll I am 53 yes young and my Momma never did either of them and we canned everything and I survived. As long as you are washing your produce properly and cleaning and sanitizing the supplies needed for canning them then there should be no problem and by the way we ate our finished product for up to 2-3 years (if it lasted that long) lol and never had a problem .
Thanks for sharing. Definitely important to wash your produce well.
Please tell me you canned these in a water bath canner after you filled them. If not, they may not be safe to eat. Water bath canning is really easy. Even pickles should be canned in a water bath canner or else put directly in the fridge. Just pouring boiling brine over them and sealing them does not necessarily kill all the bacteria that could make you sick.
I was thinking the same thing
It’s obvious from the recipe and instructions that she used a water bath for canning
I love banana peppers!
Awesome idea! Let us know how they taste when they are done!!
