I harvested over two pounds of bell peppers &#8211; small, but meaty and juicy, and almost two pounds of jalapeno peppers &#8211; all very nice looking.

I had a couple of extra jalapenos that I couldn&#8217;t fit into the jars, so I chopped them up and put them on a pizza and they were hot but delicious. Once they have aged for a few weeks they should be just perfect.<\/p>\n<div class=\"captionfull\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lostvalleygardens.com\/LVGblog\/imageshome\/pickledjalapenos.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Pickled Jalapenos<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Hope you have a great weekend.<br \/>\nCarol<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although it has been extremely hot so far this summer, I am starting to bring in a pretty good harvest of jalapeno and bell peppers, and tomatoes.
