Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400ðF (200ðC).
-
Wash peppers thoroughly. For large peppers, quarter them. For smaller peppers, leave whole.
-
Place peppers on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 6-8 minutes until skins blister and char slightly. Alternatively, broil for the same duration.
-
Remove peppers from oven and immediately place them in a bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let cool for 10-15 minutes. This steam helps loosen the skins.
-
Once cool enough to handle, peel off the blistered skin. Flatten whole peppers if desired.
-
In a saucepan, combine lemon juice, white vinegar, oregano, olive oil, chopped onions, and quartered garlic cloves.
-
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it reaches a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
-
Pack roasted peppers tightly into sterilized half-pint jars.
-
Ladle the hot marinade over the peppers, ensuring they are fully submerged. Leave 1/2-inch headspace at the top of each jar.
-
Wipe rims of jars with a clean damp cloth. Adjust lids and process in a boiling-water canner according to altitude guidelines (15-25 minutes) for safe long-term storage, or refrigerate immediately for short-term use.
