Bread & Butter Japs

[Meat Hunter]

Between the post that Hoser did on them, http://www.smoked-meat.com/forum/sho...lapenos&page=2,
and Gunslingers, http://www.smoked-meat.com/forum/sho...tter+jalapenos, I couldn't decide which one to make, so I made a variation of the two.

Started with some Jalapenos and Garden Salsa peppers fresh from the garden this morning. The red Garden Salsas and the small Tobasco's are set aside for a different experiment.....

Cut the stems off, removed the seeds and veins until I had 3# worth of peppers.

Peppers chilin in the sink.


Spices and such. This went in with the vinegar.


TaaDaaaa. Bread & Butter Japs. Gonna let these sit for a few weeks and see how they taste. I'm thinking they will be kick ass as a burger topper or on a nice hot dog

Open question to all.. What kind of time line does this require?

Thanks all.

CP, once you have our peppers in hand, I'd say roughly an hour to 1 1/2 hours tops. Longest part is cleaning out the peppers. Once thats done, its just a matter of betting the liquid up to boil, adding the peppers to the mix, getting it to a boil again then adding to the jars. 10 minutes in a water batch and your done.....

By the way. I have broken jars before by adding hot items to cool room temp jars. When I hot pack now, I add about 1/2" of water to each canning jar and throw them in the microwave. Nuke em for about 2 minutes till the water boils. Take one out at a time. Dump the water, jars are hot, add the stuff to em.

I won't answer for Todd, but the bread and butter japs & pickles I have done in the past few weeks tasted great after processing & shortly after..... I think it's the sugar/vinegar & Turmeric that kicks them into gear right away.

Todd thanks for the cooking timeline and tips, my mom has a good recipe for pickles that me neighbor has used with good results... I need to catch up with you guys on this.

I agree Scott they can be eaten fairly soon.. I have not had B&B Japs yet... I'm after this when time permits
