This is some of the peppers from 5 of my Jalapeno Gigante Plants still have 5 plants to pick i would estimate 20 to 25 lbs of peppers here ,any idea of how can save these from going to waste i wonder if i could half them and put them into a vaccum bag and freeze them...?
The look really good and tasty. Good harvest. There are plenty of sauce recipes on this site, just browse them and remember that you can always substitute the peppers mentioned with your Jalas if you like the recipe and think it'd be good with Jalas.
these seem to be a bit hotter than regular Jalapeno's i am not sure but they are about twice the size i will definately grow more of these jalapeno Gigante' plants next year also

10-cups banana or jalapeno peppers
2-cloves garlic
4-cups white vinegar
2-tsp pickling salt

Remove air bubbles with a non-metallic utensil
Put on caps
Process 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner
Best if left for 5-6 weeks before eating
makes 10 cups
Just slice the jalapenos into rings - great on top of homemade pizza
I added a touch of Turmeric -- just because I like Mrs Refeno's jarred peppers from the market and it has it in there maybe more for color?
Im letting the jars sit for 5-6 wks but it is hard
