I preserved something!

Pickled Peppers (jalapeno and banana), from plant to jar. 

Buggies usually aren’t interested in the pepper plants, but a tiny flock of fuzzy white critters flew away as I picked these guys. 

I do not have the stuff to can with, least of all a pot tall enough to cover jars (this was remedied today thanks to an awesome mom in law).  As I was doing only one pint anyway, I used my camping percolator as a hot bath (lol).  Botulism IS NOT on the bucket list, so I wouldn’t have attempted this with anything else other than a 2/3 vinegary brine. 

We shall see if my first canning experience was a tasty success in about a month or two.  Making cuke pickles later!!
