Best Banana Pepper Sauerkraut Recipes
BANANA PEPPERS STUFFED WITH SAUERKRAUT
The peppers, saurkraut and sugar combine to make a spicy/sour/sweet mixture. We eat these like pickles or with meals. I also give them as Christmas gifts. This is an old recipe given to me by my ex-grandmother-in-law.

- **This is an heirloom recipe that uses a method no longer recommended by the USDA/NCHFP (National Center for Home Food Preservation). Current guidelines recommend processing in a boiling water bath at least 10 minutes at sea level to 1000 feet in elevation (more time at higher elevations) and left to cool, upright and undisturbed, on a cloth-protected counter for 24 hours. Check for seal; if the jar hasn't sealed, either re-process the jars within the 24 hours or refrigerate and use first.
PICKLED SAUERKRAUT-STUFFED BANANA PEPPERS
We have been making these peppers for years, and everyone always asks for the recipe. The amounts of peppers and sauerkraut are estimates, as it depends a lot upon the size of the peppers. If you make these with hot banana peppers, be sure to wear gloves when cleaning them out!! These seem like a lot of work, but worth the reward when you have these wonderful peppers to eat all year through!

SAUERKRAUT STUFFED BANANA PEPPERS
I first had these when I was a nurse in CCU. Make them as soon as the peppers are either big enough to pick yourself or are available at a Farmer's Market! Eat them for the holidays to get the best taste! :) And the picture is not mine...it came from google. :)

Steps:
- 1. PREP: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds. Mix your "brine" up and bring to a boil. It should be good and clear. Have your lids in hot water and bring your water to boil in the stock pot or canning bath.
- 2. Directions: Stuff the peppers full with sauerkraut. Pack the stuffed peppers tightly in the jars. Put 1 tablespoon minced garlic in each jar. Pour brine, leaving at least 1/4-1/2 inch space at top of jar. Place the lids on top and hand tighten the rings.
- 3. Process jars 15 minutes in hot water bath and BE SURE THE LID BUTTON is SUNKEN to ensure a good seal. If it is not depressed, either process it in the water bath again or eat them within a week, keeping them refrigerated!
