Does anyone happen to have a canning recipe that has bellpeppers, banana peppers, and sliced hotdogs in a sauce? My grandma used to can this and I haven't been able to get mine to taste like hers. Thanks

Good stuff comes in many forms.

1 gallon hot peppers cut up
2 cups vinegar
1 pint oil <not motor oil either>
3 cups sugar
1 Tbls salt
6# hot dogs cut up
2 large bottles ketchup

Mix all but peppers
Cook 5 minutes
Add peppers-Cook until wilted
Pack into jars

Hot water bath for 30 minutes
OR
Pressure can for 5 minutes

Yields about 14 pints

Yep that should do you in just right.

Help me out here guys, I heard that you can freeze ripe tomatoes!
If so , can anyone tell me how? Thanks !

I've never heard that one, but I have heard if you take green tomatoes and wrap them up in newspaper then put them in a cool, dark place...you can have freash garden tomatoes during the winter by exposing them to warmth/light. Not sure if this one works, just heard it the other day.

I wonder if it will be a ball of mush when it thaws out?

Thanks for your help guys ,but I just don`t think you can just put a darn tomatoe in a bag and freeze it ! I think there`s more to it then that.
But I`m not sure , that`s why i was asking !But thanks any-way!

I think it is worth a try, I will look and see if I have a tomato and freeze it tonight and them take it out and let it thaw. I was thinking about one think. Expansion, Ice expands 13%. So one may have to pre slice the tomato first before freezing it.
