Roasted Peppers
Roasted peppers are a labor of love. But, one thing to keep in mind the end result is outstanding so you will be so thankful that you whipped these up to stock up your pantry.
What Are The Best Peppers To Use For Roasted Peppers
Depending on where you live will depend on the type of peppers that you can get in your area. I have found red bell peppers work awesome at making roasted peppers.
But if you have access to pimento peppers or even piquillo are great options as well. Both of these peppers have thinner skin so they will offer a richer more robust pepper flavor.

You will find that depending on where you live will depend on when your peppers are ready. But for the most you will find August tends to be the best time.
You will get those bright red peppers that are loaded with flavor and will really flavor your roasted peppers beyond what you can imagine.
Can I Make These Without Canning In Water Bath
Yes! You sure can. If you want you can place it in jars and then store in the refrigerator for up to three weeks. Canning allows you to preserve your peppers for longer shelf life. But if you don’t have a water bath canner, you can make smaller batches and then store in the fridge for up to three weeks.
How To Know Your Roasted Pepper Jars Are Properly Canned
You will notice as you can you have flex in the seal of the jar before you place them into the water bath. Once you can and remove from the water that flex will be hardened. You won’t be able to push down the center of the jar and have it make a popping sound.
You can re-can the jar within the first 24 hours if you find a jar or did not seal up properly. Or if you don’t want to re-can just place in the fridge and eat within three weeks.
What Is The Best Size Of Jar to Can Peppers
You are welcome to use any size of jar you would like. The biggest thing is making sure to fill your jars full so they are able to properly seal and will store the longest. So if you want larger jars as you tend to eat a lot in a short time, go ahead and buy bigger jars.

Can you roast peppers & then place whole in freezer bags & freeze?
Yes you can
This year was a fantastic pepper year for my garden, I always use my green bell peppers in stewed tomatoes with celery and onions. My colored bell peppers are used for salsa’s and relishes, however this year I have an over abundance of all my bell peppers so I decided to can just roasted peppers. I looked all day yesterday for a good recipe, every recipe said must be done in a pressure cooker to be safe, (after all these years I am still leery about using one). I found your recipe last night and thought it was perfect, so I want to double check and make sure this recipe is SAFE in a water bath.
Hello, Will you please respond to Debbie, below, regarding the assurance that this method is safe (without using any acidity like vinegar) and to use in a water bath canner verses a pressurized canner. I have read several other recipes and repeatedly read where they said it could not be done. I thank you for your understanding and just want to make sure I understood correctly. Thanks so much!
