Dilled Pickled Peppers
"This is a very old recipe that doeas not meet modern USFDA standards. If you are ok with heirloom recipes stop after step 10 step. That is how I make them and you will have a lot more crunch to your peppers.
I got this recipe from my Mother-In-Law and made these for years. Mom passed at the age of 93 4 years ago. Mom would make probably 40 qts or more every year before her health declined. All of her kids and grandkids would raid her pantry for the peppers. The amount of peppers is an estimate."

I used banana peppers to make these.,. My daughter helped me make the batch and we had so much fun doing it. They go together rather quickly and when we dug into the first jar we were thrilled with the results. They are awesome! I had some with my tuna sandwich the other night on the side and it tasted so good together!

For extra cash, we have a small herd of Texas Longhorns here in Ohio. We raise them for both show and beef. I go into withdrawal when we run out of our lean meat and have to buy the store bought meat.
I have been involved in buckskinning (camping where tents, dress and everything conforms to pre 1840)for 15 years. We bought a motorhome last year so most of my camping has been modern style lately. My wife likes the conviences. I love nothing more than to sit around the camp fire all day and cook. If you run into me at a camp grounds, both modern and oldtime, bring your plate and hunger. There is always something on the fire.

When I first came to the Zaar, every recipe was great. I have become more critical
5 Stars - Fantastic recipe. I would pay for this dish in a restaurant and tell all my friends to try it.
4 Stars - Truely a great recipe that I would proudly serve to guests as is. May tweak a slightly.
3 Stars - So so. Didn't move us either way. Maybe a good basic recipe to build on or it may be be an item that doesn't normally grace our table. That will be stated. I may make again with changes.
2 Stars - Sorry nobody liked it.
1 Star - Don't know what went wrong, but something did. Nobody ate it. No clue what to do.
