If you’re looking to jar up a little zip for your summer BBQ menu’s, this is it!

Pickled Hatch Chiles and Onions are the perfect addition to your burgers, brats, or dogs. A tangy zing with a little heat for good measure.

According to Food & Wine “Hatch chiles range in heat level from mild–for those seeking just the smoky flavor–to extra hot, which rivals the New Mexico sun on the Scoville scale (we assume)”

I have become very fond of steam canning to help beat that summer heat and because it is so much easier than filling and lugging that canning pot around. It uses much less water and energy too! With today’s drought situations everywhere, that is something we all need to be aware of. You can see the steam canner that I use here.
