    so excited about Weck canning jars!

    Do they have canners as well. Looks like Weck might have canners. Saw this at the top of their site page but didn't see them in their product line. They look like the old fashioned glass jar, glass lids and gaskets.

    Pickling Hungarian Wax Peppers

    I use put vinegar 5% acidity in my peppers and then water bath them for 20 minutes, I think. If you have a Ball Blue book you can see how long it is for pints and quarts to water bath them. I also put them in bread and butter pickle mix to make what is called Cowboy Candy. Yum.

    Green Tomatoes

    You can also put them in a box with newpaper on bottom and top of them. That is what I do with the end of the year when it starts getting cold. They ripen and are good.
