Canning peppers in tomato sauce lets you enjoy homemade pasta sauce any time of year. Unlike with oil, vinegar or other liquids, you can serve peppers canned in tomato sauce directly from the jar. Additionally, the acid in tomatoes naturally prevents certain bacteria from growing. When selecting your peppers for canning, choose only crisp, fresh peppers and discard those with a soft feel or brown spots on the skin. When properly canned and stored, the peppers will last up to one year.
