Canned Hot Peppers in Oil
These canned hot peppers in oil are a must-make condiment to pair with sandwiches, salads, grilled protein, and more. Hungarian wax peppers with garlic, oregano, and oil!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 7 pounds of banana peppers
- 1 gallon white vinegar
- 10-12 cups canola oil*
- 10 large cloves garlic
- 8 tablespoons dried oregano
Instructions
- Slice peppers in a food processor using the slicing blade until thinly sliced. Alternatively, you can chop with your hands, but if you decide to do this, I highly recommend wearing gloves. I don’t remove the seeds because I like these hot, but you can remove the seeds for a less spicy version.
- Cover the sliced peppers with vinegar overnight, or at least 8 hours. Drain when ready to process.
- Pack the peppers evenly in 8, 16-ounce sterilized jars, then add 1 chopped clove of garlic in each jar along with 1 tablespoon of oregano.
- Fill jars with oil, leaving ½ inch headspace. Depending on how tightly you packed the peppers and how thinly they are sliced, you may need more or less oil. Wipe the rim of the jar clean with a towel, then place the lids on top.
- Bring a water canner or a large stockpan filled with water to a boil. Place the filled jars into the boiling water and process for 10 minutes. Remove and let sit on the counter overnight. Any lids that didn’t pop, reprocess or enjoy right away. Store in the fridge for up to 1 year.
Notes
*Or another neutral oil. I don't recommend olive oil, as it's too strong in flavor for the peppers.
