This recipe is great, I have made several times. In the fall I use red & green peppers, the color is great around the holidays. I was always a fan of bread & putter pickles, now it's peppers. Thanks for the recipe.

I actually have a question. Are these the sweet banana peppers or the hot ones?

This was simple and the ingredients were the perfect quantities for what I had on hand from the garden. I made mine with green pepper, I may try adding more jalapeno next time.

These are so very very good. Next year I will be planting banana pepper so we can have more of these. I have only been able to find banana peppers at the local farmers market.
