canned roasted peppers mushy
Comments (7)I then pressure canned them for 35 mins. Think about it. Pressure Cook your peppers for 35 minutes. Do you think they will be crisp? Any and all heat softens veggies. The higher the heat like used in pressure cooking and the longer the time like over a half hour will cook them pretty soft. How long do you boil a potato to make it fully cooked and soft? Less than 35 minutes and that is not even at high temperature in a pressure cooker. Pickle Crisp is for NON COOKED PICKLING. It will NOT solve your problem. You can preserve the roasted peppers by putting a few into a glass jar and filling it with vinegar. This will preserve without heat but will change the taste. You can add some sugar to sweeten the vinegar. As a rule of thumb I would say half the jar with peppers and half the jar with vinegar. The easy way to do this is to first half fill the jar with vinegar and then add peppers. In place of vinegar you can use hard liquor like rum or whiskey. less hard liquor is needed than vinegar. The alcohol preserves but is expensive. Alcohol even sterilizes worms on the bottom of Tequila bottles. You might look into using lime or lemon juice as a substitute for vinegar. make sure your pH is well below 4.0 The pickle crisp might help in a vinegar lime lemon juice no heat attempt....See MoreRoasting/canning tomatoes, peppers and onions
Comments (13)My side by side fridge and freezer is fairly big. Used to have a 30"x30" chest freezer years ago, but you needed to stand on your get to get to the bottom of it, and it would frost up about every 3 months. The newer freezer is slightly larger than the older one. The heat coils usually on the back are embedded inside the box, so the sides and to fell very warm to the touch. I also added a freezer alarm that shows temp and signals of its above 25 degrees. The alarms have saved me a lot of grief. Hope you have a good viable sourdough culture! I had posted a few times about how to keep them going for many years. I make a batch from my starter and mix only flour and water into it, nothing else. I like the starter to be quite thick as opposed to a batter. After 2-3 days if its not bubbling well, I take some of a dried batch I have stored in a plastic bag in the fridge, then I just add a bit of my dried culture and it usually starts right up within a few hours. After a 1-2 days, I spoon out a small amount and spread it on a sheet of plastic wrap to dry out. After a day of drying, it gets crumbled and placed in the fridge for quite some length of time, as it keeps very well that way. The rest of the bubbling mixture gets a cup taken out and put back in the fridge for the next time. The rest, gets mixed with more flour (sometimes whole wheat) and water. Another 2 days pass and its usually ready for the bread making. I do add regular yeast too, but thats only for the quicker rise I like to see. I know someone who adds sour cream to their bread. Very crusty and sour! Might make a batch of bread this weekend, and use a little buttermilk in the dough just to give it a bit smoother/finer texture. My herbed butter was made last summer and I used fresh rosemary, sage, thyme, and lots of garlic. It all went into a small food processor to be finely chopped, then I added chunks of butter and some olive oil. I don't mix too much longer as butter will soften and melt a bit. I have these Japanese sushi molds that I line with plastic wrap and place a spoon of the mixture in each compartment. Its covered with wrap and a small plastic cover is pressed on, molding it into a small rectangular shaped cube. I place in the freezer and let them harden and then pull out the wrap from the plastic mold and cut them into individual chunks then back into the the freezer. When I do the turkey its usually just a big breast and rib meat (healthier with less fat). The herbed butter gets stuffed under the skin on top of the breast. I also posted my way of doing stuffing with sausage meat and chestnuts, as well as mixed breads. I will probabaly add a few dried cranberries to it as well as they give a nice burst of tart/tang when you eat some....See MoreCanning recipe for roasted red peppers?
Comments (15)Diane, as mentioned before, everything is a dollar. With your sense of humor I thought you'd appreciate the fact that I can no longer let me husband accompany me into a DT. As he places each item on the belt he asks, "how much is this?" The first time the clerk responds, "everything's a dollar." With subsequent items, the clerk gets annoyed, and seedpapa thinks he's being very funny. It is just soooo annoying. Diane, included in the junk part of Dollar Tree is a lot of stuff aimed at kiddos. Brace yourself. I generally steer clear of the food aisle, so thanks SGM for the heads up. I'll have to stop in and look for red peppers. I have also purchased wonderful red peppers, imported from Italy, in Big Lots, on a catch as catch can basis. They aren't a dollar, but they are cheaper than Wal Mart. Often, they are the kind packed in oil, a method not available to us home canners. Tasty nonetheless. Dawn, we drove by the DT distribution center last night on our way back from Houston. Once again I had seedpapa honk at you. I told him I knew you must be getting tired of all this late night and early morning honking. Hopefully, this will be the last trip to Houston for a long while, but I will be going to Dallas next week. Keep your ears out! Seedmama...See MoreRoasted peppers, onions and corn......
Comments (8)You can can them (doing the cancan again!) but you have to use a pressure canner. Here's one option you might like that freezes very well. It's wonderful with pasta or used as bruschetta as well as a good soup base. Actually, it's infinitely useful. And since it's frozen not canned, you have limitless latitude to vary it however you wish. This is my variation of a recipe from Jan Roberts-Dominguez: Roasted Tomatoes, Peppers, Corn and Capers Categories : Canning & Preserving Vegetables Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 6 pounds tomatoes -- peeled if desired 3 1/2 pounds sweet peppers -- (red, orange and yellow), cut into 1-inch chunks - about 12 large 1 1/3 pounds Banana peppers -- (about 5 cut into 1-inch chunks) 2 pounds Sweet Onions -- (Walla Walla - about 3 large) halved and cut into 1-inch chunks 1 2/3 pounds corn kernels -- (about 6 large ears fresh corn) 36 kalamata olives -- pitted and coarsely chopped - (3/4 cup or 4.6 oz.) 1 cup Italian parsley -- chopped (.6 oz.) 3/4 ounce basil leaves -- minced 1 head garlic -- chopped 4 tablespoons capers -- rinsed Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Preheat oven to 375 to 450 degrees (the hotter the oven, the shorter the roasting time). If using cherry tomatoes, simply remove the stems and halve each one. Halve or quarter other varieties. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of the oil in the bottom of a large roasting pan, jellyroll pan or any baking sheet with sides. Add the tomatoes, peppers, onion, corn, olives, parsley, basil, garlic and capers. You can crowd the vegetables together, but don't go beyond a single layer. Drizzle on the rest of the olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Roast until the tomatoes' skins turn golden (if unpeeled). Depending on your oven temperature, this will take anywhere from 20 minutes to about 11/2 hours. When done, the tomatoes and peppers will have collapsed and darkened beautifully. Alternatively, you can roast the vegetables over indirect heat on a medium to medium-hot grill (see note), with the lid on. Remove the roasting pan from the oven or grill and let the vegetables cool. With a metal spatula or wide, flat-sided wooden spatula, stir and scrape the cooled mixture to dissolve all of the cooked-on bits of food. To freeze, ladle the sauce into freezer containers, leaving about 1-inch head space. Let cool completely, then attach lids and freeze. Note: To peel tomatoes (don't peel cherry variety), cut a shallow X in the bottom of each tomato. Plunge them into boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove immediately and plunge into cold water. Skins should slip off easily. Note: To check grill temperature, count the seconds you can hold your hand, palm side down, 2 to 3 inches above the rack, until it feels uncomfortable: 4 seconds for medium; 3 seconds for medium-hot.
