We’re getting ready to celebrate the 6th International Can It Forward Day tomorrow, July 22, 2016 (read more HERE)!! To get ready we recreated this fun Pickled Peppers & Onions recipe from The All New Ball Book Of Canning And Preserving.
We are new to canning and had help from some great friends. I think I can say, with confidence, that we are now hooked on canning and preserving.
Be sure to check out the recipe below and also follow along with Can It Forward day, great learning will happen and prizes will be up for grabs!!
Pickled Peppers and Onions
Makes about 6 (1-pt) jars
Ingredients;
- 2 cups ¼ inch thick vertically sliced red onion

- 2 medium-size red bell peppers, cut into ¼-inch thick strips
- 2 medium yellow bell peppers, cut into ¼-inch thick strips
- 2 large green bell peppers, cut into ¼-inch thick strips
- Ball Pickle Crisp (optional)
Directions;
- Soak onion slices in ice water to cover 10 minutes.
- Bring vinegar, water, sugar, salt & crushed pepper to a boil in a 2-qt stainless steel or enameled saucepan over medium-high heat stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Drain onion slices, pat dry.
- Toss together onions and bell peppers.
- Pack vegetables tightly into a hot jar, leaving ½-inch headspace.
