Guest Star: Sweet Pepper Marinara Sauce

Today's Guest Star is a zesty twist on marinara sauce that comes from Katie. Yes, the ingredient list does call for a "peck" of peppers. Don't worry, a picture of a "peck" is included so that you can be sure to buy enough peppers (Ok, fine! A peck equals about 2 gallons).


One peck!

Sweet Pepper Marinara Sauce
Servings: 9-10 pints

- 1 peck banana peppers (sweet)
- 3 jalapeno peppers

- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3 cups sugar
- 3 large onions
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons basil
- 1 pint vinegar (white)

Take the seeds out of the banana peppers and slice them into rings. Chop the jalapenos and garlic. Slice the onions into rings.

Combine all ingredients except banana peppers into a large pot and boil until onions are soft. Add peppers and boil until the peppers are somewhat soft. Serve or put into jars/containers for canning or freezing.
