Notes
- Storing: Make sure the peppers are fully submerged in the pickling liquid and they'll last for up to a month in the fridge. These aren't canned so make sure to store them in the fridge.
- Wear Gloves: To avoid possible skin irritation and don't touch your face as getting some in your eyes will definitely hurt. Wash your hands immediately after handling.
- Ventilation: Due to the spiciness of habanero peppers, the fumes can be overwhelming while you're preparing so make sure the area is well-ventilated or even keep a fan close by in case you need it.
- Use Clean Jars: Make sure your jars and lids are clean is crucial to prevent possible bacterial growth during pickling.
- Leave Space at the Top: When filling your jars with peppers and pickling liquid, always leave about ½ inch of space at the top to allow for expansion.
