{It's almost a New Year}

  Oh my 2024 has almost gone!  I would normally say "where has the time gone too" but this year some of my days have been long, other days, sweet and full of hope. All days I've surely felt the touch of the Master's Hand upon me.  I am sorry that I have not been able to keep up with blogging but it just hasn't been in the plan.  I am happy to say that I was able to RING THE BELL two days before Thanksgiving and what a blessing that was for me and my family.  Oh the emotions was surely on a all time high that sweet day. I rang that bell loud and proud. I was so blessed to have so many of my family with me on that special occasion. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful strong support group with my family, friends and church family. My oldest granddaughter Raygen was given permission to come and play the piano after I rang the bell. She sang one of my favorite songs, "It is well with my soul". It was amazing at the patients, doctors and nurses that s...

Tuesday Toots-Recipe and Tutorial

How about pickled banana peppers and pickled jalapeno peppers?
I do believe this picture needs to go on the front of a magazine don't you? I just love it!


And this one.....


Loved these 1/2 pint cute jars! I decided to use the 1/2 pint jars for the peppers. I washed jars, lids and seals in hot soapy water and let them dry.


Decided I would do some pepper rings and some half peppers. Washed the peppers, got all the seeds out and washed them again.(Recipe at end of post)


Cut and diced like I wanted.


I also used the same recipe for the Jalapeno peppers. I done a few rings and some half peppers.


Garlic...YUM! I use one garlic per jar. You actually would use 1/2 of a pod of garlic per jar but we like a little more garlic so I went with it!


Picking and Canning Salt.


Vegetable oil.


Turmeric Spice


Now after your jars has dried fill your jars with your peppers. For half pint jars add 1/2 tsp. of oil and 1/2 tsp. of Pickling and Canning Salt.


For your brine: 2 cups of water, 2 cups of white vinegar, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/2 tsp. of turmeric. Mix together and bring to a boil.



Ladle out brine into your jars over your peppers and make sure there are no bubbles at the top and fill jars with brine just enough to cover peppers. Put lids and rims on and tighten. Place jars in pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil for 10 minutes.


Decided while the hot water bath process was going on I would take a break and eat some fresh tomatoes and cucumbers out of my garden. (Yeah, I like pepper and salt)


Once the hot water bath process is through I take the jars out to cool.


They need to sit about two weeks before popping the top! Speaking of top popping...I can hear my lids sealing now....POP, POP, POP!



Note: They will have a yellowish look to them because of the turmeric. After jars have cooled completely I place them in my cabinet...and I my man is counting down days to when he can POP the TOP!

Now for the recipe: Double this if you plan to use pint jars. If you plan to use quart jars I will let you do the math! LOL!

15-20 banana peppers
2 cups of white vinegar
2 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. ground Turmeric
1/2 glove of garlic
1/2 of Pickling and Canning salt per jar
1/2 tsp. of vegetable oil
6-8 (1/2 pint) jars

For the Jalapeno peppers I made up about half the amount of brine for them as I did not have as many of them as I did banana peppers. I had enough to do about 3 (1/2 pints of Jalapeno peppers)

Another note: I actually took about 1/4 piece of jalapeno pepper and added it to the jar of Banana pepper too for a little added kick. On the Jalapenos, be sure to take all the seeds and membranes out! Those suckers will burn you up if you don't. USE gloves too! They will burn your skin while handling them if you don't! ASK ME HOW IT FEELS! LOL!

  6. Yum! Yum! Magazine worthy for sure. I love peppers, but have never thought of bottling them. Usually use them all in my salsa. Next year I will plant more peppers to do this. We love Mexican food. In fact, I have a chili Relleno casserole cooking in the oven right now. I am pinning. Thanks for sharing the recipe with SYC. p.s. your tomatoes and cucs covered in s&p is just how I would have it. Can't wait till I have them in my garden!
    hugs,

Hiding the Ugly Hot Water Heater

 I shared that I wanted to hide my ugly hot water heater in my laundry room with you a few weeks ago. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. But after all it is a hot water heater right? So my man took a piece of wood (not real wood) but it worked and built a frame for me. So now to see if it would fit and it did. I painted it white and did not like the texture it had even after two coats of white. (rule of thumb...you get what you pay for and the wood was cheap) But I wasn't going to let it whip me!  Found some contact paper at Walmart in the gray and white. Covered the front with the contact paper and loved the look. The top was covered with a piece of painted wood as well and worked perfect to place this on top... And this.... Added a clothes basket in the corner and here was the top.... Yep, no longer an eye sore to me! Went perfect with my gray walls and gray and white floor. Remember the wood tray I bought at a...

{SON-Flowers}

Don't you just love sunflowers? When I think about sunflowers I think of two things. My motherinlove who loved sunflowers and Fall. I came across a devotional written by Julia Bettencourt on sunflowers and thought it so appropriate for today as I wanted to share my sunflowers with you. Here's a few lessons we can learn from the sunflower.    Sunflowers Track The Sun.   Most plants are attracted to light but the flowering head of the sunflower actually tracks the sun following it's path and moving toward where it is in the sky all during the day. I read somewhere that sunflowers track the sun when they are in bud stage. Isn't that how it usually goes for us as Christians? When we first come to know the Lord, we get excited about knowing all about Him and living for Him, but after awhile we sometimes grow a little preoccupied with other things and get our eyes off of the Lord.   Wouldn't it be great if as a Christian we'd track th...

{It's Been A Hot Minute Y'all}

  Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too.  Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway.  We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20.  We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...
