Sounds good to me. Actually I have never boiled my peppers or garlic before and never had a problem. And I don't do the water bath. I think you will be fine.

Thanks for the info just did not want to get sic ya know. thanks josh

I don't boil my peppers either. I would think they would come out quite mushy. I do give them a hot water bath tho.

Do me a favor and post your exact question on the Harvest forum.

Here is a link that might be useful: Harvest Forum

The best source of info for canning anything is the "Ball Blue Book", published by the guys who make Ball canning jars. If I remember correctly, it costs under $10.

I thought the people on the harvest forum reccomended atleast a 50/50 vinegar/water ratio. Best bet is get a ph meter and you can test your mix to see if the ph is low enough to prevent growths. If it is not below 4, you should atleast BWB your products. If it is not acidic at all then you must pressure can. Definitly check out the harvest forum they have master canners over there that are an excellent help
