Answer 3

PICKLED GREEN CHILIES  

1/2 c. vinegar

1/2 c. sugar

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. dill seed

1/2 tsp. mustard seed

54 oz. cans whole green chilies

1 clove garlic, sliced

Bring vinegar, sugar and spices to a boil and simmer 7 minutes to a lightly syrup. Remove seeds from chili and slice into small jars. Add sliced garlic (layering chilies and garlic in jars). Cover with syrup and cover with tight lid. Refrigerate for at least 3 days.

May be frozen later, but don't fill jars to the top so there is room for expansion when frozen so jar doesn't break. Serve with crackers. Makes 3 small jars.

Answer 4

pickles are simply a method of preservation.

you will need canning jars with two piece lids,water,vinegar,kosher salt.these are your basic ingredients,if you want to add other stuff you can,i.e dill,garlic,experiment with your ratios,i,ve never pickled chilis before but the basics are all the same..

good luck
