Ingredients

4 large red peppers, quartered

Next morning:
In a large kettle, bring the vinegar, sugar, cornstarch, turmeric, nutmeg, celery seed and black pepper to a boil.

Rinse veggies thoroughly one strainer full at a time until salt is rinsed out.  Add each rinsed strainer full of veggies to the pot. Once all veggies are in the kettle, simmer for 30 minutes.

While veggies are simmering. Place jars and lids in a large pot and bring to a boil. When veggies ready, fill jars to 1/2 inch head space, wipe jar rim with cloth dampened with vinegar and place lids and rings according to manufacturer instructions.  Process in boiling water bath for 15 minutes
Notes
I didn't add specific canning instructions.  This recipe assumes you have a basic understanding of water bath canning.
