My husband and his older brother go on about these sweet peppers that their grandmother would "put up in her basement" and then would bring a jar up and make them peppers and eggs.
As I may have mentioned, I'm not Italian, and unfortunately did not get to meet my in-laws.
When I present him with the store bought variety, I get, "they're okay I guess".
So with that said I am now hunting for this elusive recipe.
I've asked my sister-in-law (the one who cooks, the rest of them don't know how to boil water), and she said the same, her husband wants her to make "those peppers" too.
Right now in our area the red peppers are abundant, not to mention cheap, and I really want to take advantage of this opportunity.
I have never canned before, but having read the books and internet, I'm confident (I think) in my novice abilities, it's just that darned recipe!!
Could anyone help me?
