Instructions

Rinse your green peppercorns well. I keep mine in some water with a few drops of vinegar to get rid of insects trapped between the drupes.
Pat dry the clean peppercorn.
Keep your jar ready and place the green peppercorn drupes into the jar. The more you can fill it up, the better.
Prepare the brine by heating a pot with the water, salt, and vinegar. Mix it all well and bring to a quick boil.
Quickly pour the hot brine over the green peppercorn in the jar so that the pepper is covered with the liquid.
Close the jar with the lid and keep out for two days to brine
Refrigerate after three days and use in your food whenever you like.

Notes

Peppercorn drupes vary in sizes. The amount I mentioned is just an approximate indication. If you can, fill up your jar with peppercorn drupes.
If your jar is only half full, that's ok too. You can always add more green peppercorns later to the jar. This might happen if you grow your green peppercorn drupes at home. You should pick your green peppercorns when they are ready to be harvested and not too early.
You can also add the red ripe peppercorns to your jar if you like. The red ones are great when brined too and preserve for a long time as well. Red ripe peppercorn taste fruitier.
Use a vinegar with about 5% acidity, 6% acidity is ok as well. If it’s a stronger vinegar add some more water to even it out and if it’s a lighter vinegar, add more vinegar than water.
Use only a clean, sterilized jar to prepare this canned green peppercorn pickle.
You may double or triple the quantities of the recipe and use 8 ounces or 12 ounces glasses.
