Bell pepper is a unique vegetable with many varieties that differ not only in appearance, but also in bright taste and aroma. Today I want to talk about canning sweet peppers and the varieties that are most suitable for this purpose.
On what grounds do we choose fruits
- Peppers of any maturity are suitable for seaming - from green to dark red.
- It is best to take fleshy specimens with a wall thickness of at least 4 mm.
- Choose large fruits weighing more than 80 g.
- Peppers of different colors look more interesting when preserved.
- The taste of paprika should be rich and sweet with a slight bitterness.
I tried to grow different varieties on my site. I want to tell you about the 10 most successful for conservation.
