Barb these are all University type sites and the ratio was just for peppers.
It seemed like every one of them I looked at was 5 to1.
The Ball site has one for 6 cups 5% to 2 cups of water for hot water bath.
And another one (Ball) for 8 cups white vinegar to 40 cups water this would be a 2 to 1 ratio.
Why I am asking this is I want to pickle peppers in a hot water bath and use as little vinegar as possible and still be safe.
