Easy Pickled Peppers Recipe
Description
The recipe uses assorted hot or mild peppers sliced into rings and packed into a sterilized quart jar. A brine is made by dissolving sugar and kosher salt in vinegar heated to a boil, then poured over the peppers with headspace left in the jar. The jar is sealed tightly after filling.
Refrigeration preserves the peppers for up to a month, providing a crisp but mellow pickled texture. For longer shelf life, a boiling water bath processing step can sterilize and seal the jar according to altitude-specific timing. Flavor develops with at least 24 hours before consuming, allowing the vinegar and seasonings to infuse the peppers thoroughly.
Ingredients
- 4 cups pepper banana, jalapenos, serrano, etc, cut into 1/4- inch rings
- 2 cups vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
Instructions
- Place pepper rings in a sterilized quart jar. Set aside.
- Place vinegar, sugar, and salt in medium non-reactive saucepan, stirring until salt and sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Pour over peppers, leaving 1/2-inch headspace in jar. Seal the jar.
- Refrigerate the peppers up to one month or process in boiling water bath for 15 minutes if you live in altitude below 6000 feet or 20 minutes if above 6000 feet.
- Allow at least 24 hours before opening the peppers for the best flavor.
