Speaking of pepper jelly. One year I grew a bunch of Hot Banana Peppers and made a ton of pepper jelly from them. Put them in the small (4oz?) cute jelly jars so I could give some away as gifts.
Anyway, I had so many that after a while, we stopped eating it and forgot about the rest. One day I was going through all the canned stuff and came across these jelly jars and picked one up and my thumb went through the lid. The lids had disintegrated over time. Maybe the acidity inside? None of my other canned good ever did that.
Needless to say, I don't make that much anymore!
Yep, pepper jelly is a favorite for sure.
