PARTY PEPPERONCINI

• Very lightly brush each slice of salami with olive oil.
• Put a slice of provolone on each slice of salami and lightly brush with olive oil again. (If the provolone is wider than the salami, just fold it down on one side, then roll long-wise.).
• Wrap salami and provolone around pepperoncini and secure with a toothpick.
• Cover and refrigerate.
• Note: If the provolone is significantly larger in diameter than the salami, only get half as many slices of provolone and cut them in half.

PICKLED PEPPERONCINI

Steps:

• Wash and sort the pepperoncini. Using a sharp knife, make a split in the side of each, keeping the stem in tact.
• Wash and sterilize 4 16 ounce canning jars.
• Simmer the tops in water.
• Set a large canning pot to boil.
• In a large heavy bottomed pot, add 4 cups white vinegar and 4 cups water with 1/4 cup kosher or pickling salt and 1/3 cup sugar.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from the heat.
• Stuff the jars with pepperoncini. Once these come out of the water canner, there will be considerably shrinkage of the peppers, so the more you can fit, the more appealing the final product will look.
• Into each jar add 2 cloves of crushed garlic, 6-7 whole pepper corns and 6-7 whole corriander seeds and 1 teaspoon of dried, crushed red pepper flakes.
• Fill the jars to about 1/4 inch head room, then add the tops and then the rims, and close, but not too tightly.
• Process for 10 minutes in boiling water with at least 2 inches of water above the rims.
• Once done, let the jars sit, covered for 5 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the canner and let them sit, undistirbed for 24 hours.
• Check the tops to be sure they've popped. This means, they've usually made a popping sound and the soft center of the lid as inverted. You can also check by tapping the top. If it goes up and down, the seal did not take. Any that did not can be refrigerated and eaten with a few weeks. Properly presserved, you can store the pepperoncini for up to a year. Refrigerate once opened.
• Enjoy!
