One idea is that green peppers are at the heart of many chili recipes! Diced green pepper adds just the right contrast to the beans and tomatoes. This chili is vegetarian and uses bulgur wheat to mimic the texture of meat (use quinoa for gluten-free).
This begs the query “What goes well with stuffed green bell peppers?”
The answer is that turkey and a variety of vegetables make a great filling for stuffed green bell peppers. Keep it fresh by mixing fresh chopped tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, and cilantro with lime juice for a quick and simple salsa.

And now…the best bell pepper recipes!
One source claimed that you can boil them in water for 10 minutes (lids included) or simply put them in your dishwasher under the “sanitize cycle”. Make sure they are kept warm so that you can fill them with peppers while still hot. Fill your jars with peppers, flatten small whole peppers and leave approximately one inch of space from the lid.
When we were writing we ran into the question “Can you cook peppers in a can?”.
You may can peppers ( hot or sweet ). You can can them, pickled, or plain. Pickled peppers can be water-bathed or steam- canned. Jars of home canned peppers make rice dishes such as this Pepper Rice a no-brainer to make, even on weeknights.
How to can peppers in a jar?
Fill your jars with peppers, flatten small whole peppers and leave approximately one inch of space from the lid. Add half a teaspoon of salt to each jar and pour some boiling water on top until covering the peppers, but still keeping the 1-inch .space that is required due to the expansion during the canning process. Seal the jars.
How do you brine peppers for canning?
I put one to two cloves in each pint jar of peppers. In a stockpot, combine one quart of vinegar and one cup of water. As it begins to slightly boil, add a half cup of canning salt. Stir and allow the salt to dissolve, and reduce heat. This is the brine you will pour over your peppers.
Can you use garden lime to grow bell peppers?
Unless the p. H level is below 5.5, however, using garden lime is likely only to make your soil less hospitable to nurturing bell peppers. Unless your garden is significantly depleted of nutrients, you won’t need to do much in the way of feeding your soil or your plants in the bell pepper garden.
The next thing we asked ourselves was: how much limestone do you put on bell peppers?
Therefore, if your bell peppers will occupy about 10 square feet and the current p. H level is 4.5, set a layer of 1/2 to 1 pound of ground limestone over the soil and rake it into the garden bed. This will get it into the “sweet spot” bell peppers prefer.
What plants like lime in the garden?
In terms of flowers, you might consider adding lime to decorative and ornamental style gardens populated with variants of gypsophila, delphiniums, and buddleia. Shrubs that prefer acidic soils are American Holly, sweet bay magnolias, and mountain laurel.
This of course begs the question “Does lime make soil more acidic?”
The answer is that garden lime falls into the latter category. In cases of very acidic soil, limestone may help make vegetables such as bell peppers thrive. But unless you know your soil’s p. H level, adding anything to make soil more or less acidic might backfire on you.
