Canned Pickled Banana Peppers

We love these, and put them on our homemade pizza, in quiche, in chili and spaghetti, etc.  We also put aluminum foil on a baking sheet, sprinkle tortilla chips on top, cover with grated Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese, and banana pepper rings and broil (watch this carefully!!).I even grow the banana peppers in my garden so we can make this.

Instructions:

1. Wash the peppers, cut off the tops and remove as many of the seeds as you can.

2. Cut the peppers into rings of whatever thickness you prefer.
