This traditional preservation method captures the fresh crunch of red or green sweet peppers, infusing them with a balanced vinegar brine that brightens any dish.

The result is a glossy, tangy condiment that stores beautifully for months. Perfect as a side, a topping for burgers, or a spicy accent for tacos and eggs. Simple to prepare yet incredibly rewarding, these pickled peppers bring a homemade touch to everyday meals, offering a refreshing contrast to rich, savory foods.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash the peppers or chilies thoroughly under cold running water.
  2. Cut around the stem of each large pepper and remove the stem, core, and seeds.
  3. Leave peppers whole or cut into sections or strips as desired.
  4. If using hot chilies, leave them whole with stems intact or stem and seed them.
  5. Make two small slits in each whole pepper or chili to allow brine penetration.
  6. In a saucepan, combine 1 quart vinegar, 1 quart water, and 4 teaspoons salt.
  7. Heat the mixture to a simmer of 150&# 194;°F to 160ðF; do not allow it to boil.
  8. Pack the prepared peppers or chilies tightly into clean, hot jars.
  9. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the peppers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
  10. If adding olive oil, pour vinegar to 3/4 inch headspace, then add oil to within 1/2 inch of the rim.
  11. Wipe jar rims clean and secure lids tightly.
  12. Process jars for 15 minutes in a boiling water bath canner.
  13. Remove jars and let cool undisturbed for 12 to 24 hours.
