What’s a zoodle? Zucchini noodles? Looks delicious!

Zoodles are simply the single best use of the annual over abundance of zucchini I've ever eaten. Get a spiralizer at Wally World for $15 and enjoy a whole new bunch of really good eats.

Hey Bill,  does the Kitchenaid food mill attach to the Grinder that I already have?

Rg

Yes it does. Has a different, longer screw, but uses the same feed hopper.

Yesterday, I roasted a bushel of red peppers my cousin grew on our farm.  There were very few of them this year, and I felt a little guilty taking the bushel this year, but after they were done, the guilt disappeared. 



I also filled my dehydrater with sage leaves.  Next up is the remaining basil, rosemary and thyme.



A few weeks ago, I pickled another bushel of green peppers using my mother's method.  These are a family favorite.

What's the canned pepper recipe?

What's the canned pepper recipe?     

Cut peppers into flat pieces, pack them tightly into jars, wide mouth jars are easier to use.
Add a clove of garlic or a couple of leaves of basil.
Add a jalapeño pepper or cherry hot, depending on how hot you want your peppers to be.
Bring 5 qts of apple cider vinegar and 5 qts water and 1 cup canning salt to a rapid boil.
Fill jars with rapidly boiling mixture and quickly seal the jar with new lids.
It is important that the mixture be boiling when putting into jars. 
No need to "process"
Wait for jars to cool, check lids. If the are depressed you have a good seal.  If not, empty and try again with boiling mixture. 
Let them soak for about 10 weeks - we wait until Thanksgiving.

A bushel of peppers will use 2 gallons of vinegar and 2 gallons of water and yield 30 pint and a half jars.

They should be crisp to the bite.  I will usually splash them with olive oil and a few sprinkles of dried oregano, but most of the time we eat them right out of the jar.  Best served with pasta and meatballs, and of course with homemade sauce.

I would have gone to the pickle fest but I had plans already in place that day.  I think I would have given RG a run for first prize!

You know, my pickled eggs and pickled garlic were pretty good that day. Out of a quart of eggs only three went home, and only half the jelly jar of garlic.
RG's pickles, as good as they were,  were the only "cucumbers" there. 
Categories, Dom.

I should have brought one more jar with me. The first batch I put up is getting hotter by the day. My son and I opened a jar last week end. They are definitely 3 beer pickles. I need some little skull and crossbones labels for that batch.
