Got Peppers??

I have an abundance of jalapeno peppers so... I am planning to make bread and butter jalapeno slices. 


4 lbs jalapeno peppers 
2 lbs onions 
3 cups vinegar 
2 cups sugar 
2 Tbs mustard seed 
2 tsp turmeric 
2 tsp celery seed 
1 tsp ginger
 
I would definitely recommend wearing a pair of rubber gloves for handling jalapenos, the oils within the peppers are easily absorbed into the skin, eyes, nose, and mouth. Speaking from personal experience!

Wash and cut jalapenos and onions into thin slices and cold pack into jars.
Place remaining ingredients in large sauce pot and bring to a boil. Pour hot mixture into jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Remove air bubbles. Adjust caps. Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath. Yield: about 7 Pints.
