Canning Adventure: Peppers!

I'm getting a bit out of control with my canning.  My shelves are starting to stock up, so this summer I will be renovating an old bookcase the previous owners of our house left behind, so that I have more storage space. (Squeel!).  
This weekend I tried a roasted pepper recipe found here:
Smitten Kitchen

But given to me by Liz (my sister in law who sends me the best recipes).  We've gone to Atlanta to visit the family a few times and I always come home wanting to can like Liz does.  We can blame her for this ;)



First I washed the peppers and put them on a tray, into the oven at 400 for 50 mins.


When they came out the skins had wrinkled and browned.  The next step was to let them steam in a pyrex bowl.


Then I peeled off the skins, sliced up the peppers and put them into the jars. Meanwhile, I had boiled distilled vinegar with salt and sugar.  Once boiled I filled up the jars, added chopped garlic and peppercorns and screwed the caps back on.





Can't wait to try these in another week or so!  Tonight we're picking out next weekends canning recipe - any suggestions?!  :)
