Ball Pickle Crisp Granules 5.5 oz (Pack of 1)

Product Information

Bell peppers are a popular vegetable, and they can be preserved in a variety of ways. Only the most basic methods of preserving food, namely blanching and freezing, are safe. In a large saucepot, boil the peppers for three minutes, or until soft, before storing them in a Mason jar. Hot jars with a headspace of 1 inch must be filled with peppers. Each Mason jar should be filled with a cup of salt and a tablespoon of vinegar. How To Make Crunchy Peppers

Ingredients. Use recommended ingredients—salt, 5% acidic vinegar, sugar, spices, water—in exact recipe proportions; there must be a sufficient level of acid to prevent the growth of botulinum bacteria.

Make sure you slice off and discard the blossom end of the cucumber. You can tell the blossom end from the stem end by using your sense of touch. The stem end will feel smooth with an indented or concaved dot. The blossom end, which you will want to remove, will feel like a rough, curved outward dot As part of a cheeseboard: because of how sweet the candied pumpkin and pumpkin jam are, they pair well with the salty, savory flavor of many cheese varieties on a cheese board. Sweet pumpkin preserves 2-ways – candied pumpkin in syrup and pumpkin jam! All you need is a handful of ingredients to prepare either of these sweet pumpkin recipes – perfect for water bath canning to keep in your pantry for up to a year! How to Preserve Pumpkin Two Ways: Candied and Jam

Orange zest: ½ – 1 orange zest can be added to the sugar syrup mixture to infuse it with extra flavor. As a dessert: either alone or with some of its syrup; optionally topped with some crushed nuts/seeds and a little whipped cream (or coconut whipped cream) or even ice cream.Lemon juice:to help balance the super-sweet flavor of the candied pumpkin/pumpkin jam. A combination of orange and lemon juice would add interesting flavor.

For a small batch, I recommend using 15oz (400g) of pumpkin puree (that way, you can use homemade or canned pumpkin), an equal amount of sugar (around 2 cups/400g), 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice (or orange), and 1-2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or just a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg). Feel free to adjust the citrus and spices to personal taste! If you want to preserve the pumpkin:don’t reduce the sugar amount in the recipes, as it acts as a preserver. If you reduce the sugar, the shelf life will be reduced too (and I can’t guarantee how much). First, wash and cut the pumpkin into small bite-sized pieces (around ¾-1-inch cubes). Next, peel or chop the skin away and remove all the pulp and stringy flesh. Experiment with aromatics: I’ve included a list of my favorite add-ins for these pumpkin preserves, so feel free to experiment and find your perfect ingredients and amounts.Place the garlic cloves, dill, red pepper, and peppercorns in the jars. They can go underneath the cucumbers as well, either way is fine.

Ginger: just a little fresh ginger can help to infuse the pumpkin (and syrup) with more flavor. It works well for the jam too. Then add the brine: Pour enough vinegar mixture into each jar to completely cover to cucumbers, leaving ¼-inch of headspace between the brine and the rim of the jar. Seal with an airtight lid. Bring 1 gallon of boiling water and 1/2 cup of kosher salt to a boil in a pot over medium heat. Remove the bell peppers from the brine and allow them to cool for 20 minutes. After the peppers have cooled, they should be refrigerated and brined for one to two days. Experiment with different vinegar varieties like white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or even rice vinegar for some tangy excitement. You can also spice things up with the addition of red pepper flakes or fresh sliced jalapeños. Pumpkin:make sure to use a culinary pumpkin for the best flavor (not carving pumpkin). I love using sugar pumpkins, but you can also use varieties that aren’t as sweet since there’s so much sugar in the recipe. You could also make this with squash (like butternut squash).It is also used in the production of medication because of its anti-moisture characteristic. Because of its ability to function well in low temperatures, it is more useful in melting ice on roadways than regular salt and also is used to help settle the dust on the road. ( Source) In the quantities used in home canning, calcium chloride will not impact your pH. You’d need to use enough to turn your cucumbers into fossils to have an impact on pH. Mini Cucumbers are also known as Mini Persians, shown here. These are the most readily available cucumbers But if for whatever reason you need 30,000ppm, you’d want distilled water, and pure calcium chloride.
