| Ok, we have a million banana peppers right now. What do you do with them? I plan on pickeling some, making relish out of some. What do I do with the rest? I would like to make something out of them that we can put in jars and give away as gifts for the holidays. We do cookies and candy every year and I want to do something different this year. I just love this forum. I can't believe I have been using gw this long and have just found it! Any suggestions?! |

| Make pepper jelly: Hot pepper jelly 3 cups finely chopped peppers ( the proportion of habaneros or other hot peppers to bell peppers will depend on how hot you like thour jelly) Linda C |

| If you want to use some up now, they are great cooked in a little olive oil and then mixed with scrambled eggs. We always have a big breakfast on Sundays and this is a favorite here. Just seed and chop them and cook til tender, then add eggs and cook til softly scrambled. |
|
| And since they are so mild, I seed them, chop them up and freeze them in ziploc bags for soup which we love in the fall and winter. |

| These wouldn't freeze but they're a great appetizer for a cookout. Since I only make them in summer, I usually pop them on the grill rather than broiling them. If you use one of those fish grillers, you can turn them over all at once. STUFFED BANANA PEPPERS 12 large sweet banana peppers Slit each banana pepper lengthwise and carefully remove seeds. Wash and set aside. Combine next 8 ingredients in a large bowl, mixing well. Stuff each banana pepper with cheese mixture. Wrap a bacon slice diagonally around each stuffed pepper, securing well with a wooden pick. Place peppers on a well-greased rack in broiler pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Serving suggestions: May be served with dill sauce, fresh tomato sauce or any sour cream sauce.

| Are these sweet banana peppers or hot? |
|
| This isn't a recipe but I like to split them length wise, fill with white cheddar cheese, bake a bit, then under the broiler for a bit so the cheese becomes a little "chewy". Really good snacks. |
|
| All of the banana peppers we have grown over the years have been nicely mild. |

| They are mild banana peppers. I found a recipe for a relish I am going to try also. Thanks for the soup recipe! My husband loves soup. Do you know if it freezes well? Stuffed banana peppers sound good too...think I might try a popper idea. Maybe stuff, bread and fry. You guys got my brain workin overtime! lol |
|
| I have frozen the soup but we usually finish it in 2 meals so there really isn't much to freeze. Like your idea of making poppers with them. I've also used my recipe for refrigerator pickles and used the peppers but they are sweet that way. |

| I cut around the top of the pepper an pull the stem and seeds out. then stuff them with (homemade) saurkraut and pickle them in canning jars. I have also filled them with saurkraut, onion, and bacon sprinkled with cheese and baked them. They are great party snacks!! |
|
| My brother-in-law likes to add a little bit to his tuna salad mix (along with the usual diced celery and onion). He says it makes the sandwich fantastic! |
|
| A word to the wise...before you make anything with these peppers, taste them. I have several times bought or been given supposedly sweet banana peppers that turned out to be very hot! The first time I put them into a soup that turned out to be blazing hot! then I learned, taste before you add to anything. Linda C |

| CUT BANANA PEPPERS LENGHTWIZE LEAVING STEMS ON TO USE AS HANDLES. MIX 2 8OZ CREAM CHEES WITH A LARGE CAN OF CRAB MEAT FINELY DICED ONION (OPTIONAL) FILL PEPPER HALVES AND PUT ON COOKIE SHEET BAKE 350 FOR AROUND 30 MIN. SPRINKLE TOPS WITH ASSIAGO CHEESE AND BAKE UNTIL CHEESE STARTS TURNING BROWN. |

| We make a banana pepper mustard that is really tasty. You need the following: 1 qt ground, de-seeded banana peppers (about 22 to 25) 1 qt yellow mustard 1 qt white vinegar 1 c flour 4 c sugar De-seed and grind peppers (we use a food processor)some red peppers add color. Pour into a pot, add flour, stir, add sugar, stir, add mustard & vinegar. Put on stove over medium heat stirring until thick. Pour into pint jars, seal and process in water bath canner for 15 minutes. The peppers we use are sweet, but if you would like some heat you can use the hot peppers. |
