Quick Pickled Sweet Mini Peppers
Quick Pickled Sweet Mini Peppers are sliced rings of sweet mini peppers combined with minced garlic and pickled in a hot brine of white vinegar, water, and sea salt. The peppers develop a bright, tangy flavor soon after preparation and can be enjoyed fresh or chilled over several weeks. This method balances sweetness with acidity and spice depending on optional additions.
