Possibly my all-time favorite canning recipe: Hot Pepper Butter. If you have peppers coming in, you want to make this! (Get the recipe here.) It’s great for dips, and is also the best sandwich spread around.

:snoopy: It’s a toss up between pepper butter and Dede’s sweet pickle relish. Reminds me, I need to check my supply and make sure I have plenty in the pantry!

My Dad is 90 y.o. and LOVES any food that has some heat. I’ve never used these peppers before, so I’m not sure just how hot they are, but I’m definitely going to give this recipe a try. I can picture pouring this sauce over a block of cream cheese and serving it with crackers or tortilla chips. It’s after 2 a.m. and I should be going to sleep…but now I’m hungry. =) Love all your posts. Thank you. ♥ BBB ♥

Nikki says:
Just an FYI flour typically is not an approved ingredient for canning. It is still used in some recipes but unless this is an approved recipe that has been tested I would be scared to try it with that much flour. It is not an acid issue as much as it is a density issue. Peppers are low acid which the vinegar would help but thickening the mixture is where you run into issues. I would personally freeze this recipe even if using clearjel. For current canning guidelines please use this website.
