Pickled Peppers Recipe
Description
The recipe instructs to prepare chili peppers by washing, drying, and either chopping larger peppers or poking holes in smaller ones to enable brine penetration. The peppers are packed into a clean quart jar. The brine combines vinegar, water, garlic, black peppercorns, pickling salt, and sugar, which is heated and simmered briefly to blend flavors and dissolve the solids. After cooling slightly, the brine is poured over the peppers and sealed, then refrigerated.
Over time, the peppers absorb the brine's flavors, mellowing and developing a characteristic vinegary tang paired with peppery heat. The flavors improve after sitting for a few weeks, although they can be eaten immediately. These pickled peppers serve well as toppings, accompaniments, or ingredients in dishes requiring acidic and spicy notes.
Ingredients
- 3-4 cups chili peppers - you can use any type of pepper here. The amount will vary depending on how you chop them.
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 4 garlic chopped, cloves
- 3 tablespoons black peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons pickling salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Wash and dry the chili peppers. Cut the large ones up into small chunks. Any small peppers you can leave whole, but poke holes in them to the pickling solution can enter the peppers. Pack them all into a cleaned quart jar.
- To a large pot, add vinegar, water, garlic, peppercorns, salt and sugar. Stir.
- Heat and bring to a quick boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 2 minutes. Cool slightly.
- Pour the brine into the jar, over the peppers, and seal with a tight lid. Cool and refrigerate.
Notes
- Wait several weeks after pickling to allow peppers to fully develop flavor, though they can be eaten sooner if desired.
