Pickled Banana Peppers

I love a good sandwich.  You know, the kind made with fresh homemade bread and loaded with meats and all sorts of toppings.  The kind that is almost too hard to eat because of all the goodness that is loaded onto it.  My mouth is watering just thinking about it!  I love to bake bread, so I’m usually set in that category.  (Check out these posts for Homemade White Sandwich Bread and French Herb Bread.)  Now I just need some tasty toppings for that bread!

I’ve always been a fan of pickled banana peppers, so a few years ago, my wife and I  decided to start planting banana peppers in our garden.  Who knew banana peppers grew so well in upstate New York?  We always have a bounty of banana peppers in our garden, and it didn’t take long before we started pickling our own!  

If you love banana peppers, but haven’t tried pickling them yet, then you have to give it a shot.  Don’t let the “pickled” title scare you...these Pickled Banana Peppers are incredibly easy, and they are the perfect topping for so many different dishes, including sandwiches, salads, tacos, etc, etc.
