You can do this with a variety of peppers and it will still be tasty, although the flavor will change a bit. Start by roasting your peppers. One batch is perfect for a pan of enchiladas.

Pressure canning at 10 lbs is for sea level. For increased altitudes you must increase the pressure. For 4000-6000 elevation, pressure for 13 minutes. Be sure to have your gauge tested each year before you begin canning to decrease the likelihood of toxins/botulisium growing.
We made a double batch of this last night using our roasted Hatch chiles. We made chicken/zucchini enchiladas with part of it and then put the rest in jars to freeze for the winter. GREAT stuff! My picky, green chile expert of a husband gave it two thumbs up! Thank you!
What about freezing in jars or baggies?
You could totally freeze this. I would do it in freezer jars or bags instead of glass jars, though. 🙂
Hmmm…I have leftover potato leek soup for tonight, but I’m thinking enchiladas with this sauce are on tomorrow’s menu! Yum!
Whitney is right – it has to be pressured canned.
Is it safe to bottle these in a boiling water canner instead of a pressure canner?
No. This recipe must be pressure canned.
This truly is amazingly delicious! Makes me want a pressure canner!!!
