Help with canning roasted pepper spread
Comments (20)Oy, I wish I could get my act together to grow tomatoes from seed. But I never do, would be a waste. I'll save the post in case I ever do get it together. I have lots of seed catalogs. I've even ordered from them, but never can get myself, a garden and the accoutrements all together in the same time and place. This year I grew the pear shaped yellow ones. That plant was an ugly beast and I have to say that although they are cute, I didn't find the flavor anything to write home about. I also have one med. sized cherry, I think it is "Sugar Tyme" or something like that. That's just fun for snacking. Then I grew a patio tomato, which was a nice size, but the flavor wasn't anything that great, and pretty low production, maybe 5 toms. Then in the back neglected part of the garden I have some compost escapees. They're small and probably won't taste all that good, if and when they ever ripen. Next year I'm going to try and get a community garden plot, someone just told me about a place near where I live. But since I don't have a full time job yet, I may have to move so it might be moot, who knows. At this point I'm just going to be happy with my luscious red pepper gifts....See MoreRoasting Peppers Question...
Comments (20)I just found out how to bring Pics in to Messages. Hope it works. Here is a recipe for a Pepper dish I made up a while back. I used a large Green Bell Pepper, cut in half. Lou's Stuffed Pepper Prelibato ( Pepper Exquisite ) Use your favorite stuffing. I used stuffing with par cooked Sausage. You can also use seafood. Use your wildest imagination. Maybe you better not ????? Lay the two halves of Pepper on an oiled baking tin or whatever you prefer. Put Provolone Cheese on the bottom @Pile on the Stuffing. Lay more Provolone on top of the stuffing. Put sliced Tomatoes on that and sprinkle with Garlic Powder, Onion Powder,Black Pepper and a little of Old Bay Seasoning (optional) Finale : Lay some Bacon strips across the top.(I didn't) Bake in a 350 Degree Oven for about 15 minutes or until the peppers are as tender as you like them. ENJOY !!!...See MoreRoasted Red Peppers
Comments (13)Roasting peppers really is easy. I find blackening them on a grill easiest especially if I'm doing a large quantity for freezing. But you can also blacken peppers on top of your gas stove. Just place peppers right on grid, turn on burner and turn occasionally until blackened. I take them off the grill and place in either a paper bag or a plastic bag and leave to steam for 5 to 10 minutes. Once they are cool enough to handle the blackened skin just rubs off. If freezing just core pepper and cut into strips and freeze on a cookie sheet. When frozen, package in freezer bags or containers. If using immediately or within a few days, I drizzle with olive oil and fresh minced garlic, salt and pepper. A little fresh lemon juice and some fresh chopped herbs is also an option. Because of the danger of botulism, I prefer to take peppers out of the freezer and dress them with oil and fresh garlic as needed rather than keep them stored in the fridge in oil.

Comments (9)"Is the National Center for Home Food Preservation a legitimate source? Is this recipe, from their website, considered safe (including that 1 cup of oil)??" NCHFP is THE legitimate source for safe home canning. It is the base used for all other approved publications. The recipe is one of very few approved recipes that allows for oil and has been lab tested numerous times and is perfectly safe when it is followed in detail. Unfortunately you didn't. Lemon juice has very different, more effective surfactant properties and binding properties, with oils than vinegar does. And bottled lemon juice is almost 2x as acidic as vinegar. So to sub vinegar for lemon juice you have to use 2x as much (which you apparently did) for the pH, but yes you will have a more oily (less mixed) appearance. "in terms of substitution ... can I substitute the same amount of garlic for onion? If I wanted to use only garlic and no onion, could I use 1/2 cup of garlic and no onion? They are both low-acid vegetables." Yes they are but they have very different pH. 5.3 for onions and 5.8-6.0 for garlic. That is a big mathematical difference on the pH scale. So allowed substitutions are basically limited to like-for-like things. While you might get safely by with adding a couple more cloves of garlic with less onions or maybe 1/4 cup garlic instead of the onions you can't know for sure without pH testing. There simply isn't much modification or wiggle room when dealing with low acid ingredient recipes when they will be BWB canned. So if you made those substitutions in garlic and onions then I would be concerned with the safety of the results. If you did not make them and used 4 cups of 5% vinegar then while the flavor will be changed they should be safe. Dave...See More- 4 years ago
