Here are my California Wonder Bell peppers, I picked a 3 gallon bucket full of red ones and another 3 gallon bucket full of green ones.

Oh Man Comfrey! Those things are gorgeous! Nicely done! I ended up not planting any regular bell style. I have Jimmy Nardello and Carmen. Both are the long thin style sweet peppers.

Here is what i made out of the peppers today, I ended up with 9 pints of sweet pepper relish.

oh wow! how many plants do you have???? they look gorgeous- my mouth is watering.....

I have 28 plants...I always grow more then I have this year, so I can make this relish. Everyone begs for a jar.

Well done, Comfrey !
What do you put the relish on?
Looks like it would be good in potato salad and baked beans too.

Beautiful!!! Now my mouth is watering for a good batch of Stuffed peppers. Hmmmmmmm...I may have to make a run to the grocery store and get all the "fixins." lol! I bet the relish is wonderful!

Wow! If you notice any of those peppers or jars of relish missing, well let's just say, innocent until proven guilty!
I'm still wiating for most of my peppers, but yesterday I ate 2 yellow banana peppers that were turning slightly red. Oh, what a treat! I was never much of a fan of banana peppers before, but now I'm hooked.
I've canned a variety of pickled peppers, and to my surprise, sliced bell peppers are possibly the best pickles. Try 'em on a burger or sandwich....yum.

Oh Comfrey Those look sooooo GOOD!
MMMMMM I'll pm my address you can send as much as you can pack in the largest box you can find!


HI Peppereater good to see you on!! AHHH The relish is on it 's way to me!!!!

Looks so good Comfrey. Beautiful peppers and good looking relish as well!!! Great harvest!

Hi Comfrey

What a sight and you've got my mouth watering overtime.

Can you share the recipe with us? I'd sure love to have it.

Sure...the recipe is in the ball blue book..except I don't add the red hot pepper to the spice bag. The relish is good on or in anything you want to use it on....It is great mixed with mac N cheese. My mom will eat it right out of the jar but I can post the recipe if you want...Let me know. I'll post it in the recipe section if you don't have the ball blue book.

Holy Shmoley!! Beautiful looking peppers Comfrey. What variety is that? Mine never get all that big.

Oh..I read back again..I see the name of them.

Wonderful job Comfrey.

Those look too perfect. I think Comfrey bought a bunch of those plastic ones you get at hobby stores!
Amazing.

Yep..and she could of easily copied the relish pic off the internet.

:rolleyes:

Those are some gorgeous peppers comfrey! I think a lot of us are turning green with envy.

WOW....great job there!!!

What a gorgeous sight your shelf of canned pepper relish is. What could be more satisfying than raising then putting up such yummy looking treats .. Looks like Blue Ribbon time at the county fair.

Beautiful peppers. I planted 1 little plant and have had a few green ones, but those red ones look sooo good.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could all have a meal together and bring our vegetables. Who needs meat when we've got such beautiful veges.

I need to figure out how to fix the next gift exchange because I want Comfrey to get my name and send canned peppers.

Wow I don't know what to say...These peppers are so easy to grow and care for...they are no work at all. I start half of them and when they sprout...I start the other half of my row. Now I plant them all out at the sametime or a week apart. The first set of plants will get those green bell pepper...then the second set will get green, but the first set will start to turn red....So I get great red bell pepper ones with thick walls and very sweet and prime green bell peppers all at the same time, perfect for making my sweet pepper relish. And I had thought about taking it to the county fair...but that is alot of work...I already have a few blue ribbons from the county fair

Comfrey please post the recipe. Many thanks ahead of time.

Our pleasure!
Great job, though, seriously. I've never had a crop like that.
