DIRECTIONS

Sterilize your jars, warm your lids in hot water.

Bring the vinegar, sugar, mustard seed and celery seed to a roiling boil

Pack your prepared peppers into the jars.

Pour in the boiling pickle juice to within 1/2 inch of the top. Make sure the peppers are all covered and there is no juice on the rim of the jar.
