The old nursery rhyme about Peter Piper came to mind yesterday as we picked basketfuls of several kinds of peppers - probably because we have never had such a bountiful harvest. The freezer already held bags of whole peppers for use in cooking, and the pantry shelf boasted jars of Raspberry Jalapeno Jam and Hot Pepper Peach Jam, so after some deliberation, I decided to try my hand at pickling peppers. The contrasting colors of sliced jalapenos, chili peppers and banana peppers were beautiful, and the familiar pickling aroma of vinegar was tempered with a sharp peppery scent. The verdict on taste will not be disclosed until a later date when one of the jars is opened - we have our fingers crossed.
