These are very good, but it irritates me to run into a recipe that does give me what size of jars? Are these pints or 1/2 pints?

Pretty easy to do for anybody to try. The jars make lovely little gifts to give away, and the peppers themselves are wonderfull. Great with crackers or with cheese

Made for DH's friends at work who love anything"HOT". They thought they were great. I thought they were extremely spicy. Could've just been my jalapenos. Had a bumper crop this year.

These are WONDERFUL its like you just cant eat just a couple they are habit forming. We eat them with cream cheese on chips, crackers, spread cream cheese on a serving plate and mix peppers with raspberry jelly, what a Tailgate munchie!!!
