Wash and remove the stems and seeds of 36 medium hot banana peppers.
Using a food processor, puree the peppers until smooth. If needed, add a small amount of vinegar to assist with blending.
In a large pot, combine the pureed peppers, 3 cups of vinegar, 5 cups of sugar, and 1.5 cups of yellow mustard. Stir well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of water until smooth to create a slurry.
Slowly stir the flour slurry into the pot of pepper mixture to thicken it.
Add 3 teaspoons of salt to the pot and mix thoroughly.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for 5–10 minutes until the mixture has thickened.
Prepare jars and lids by sterilizing them in boiling water for at least 10 minutes.
Carefully ladle the hot mixture into the sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.
Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth and apply the lids and bands until finger-tight.
Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude if needed.
Remove the jars from the water and let them cool on a towel or cooling rack for 12–24 hours. Check for proper seals before storing.
