Ingredients

  • 3-4 cups chili peppers you can use any type of pepper here. The amount will vary depending on how you chop them.
  • 2 cups white vinegar
  • 4 garlic cloves chopped
  • 3 tablespoons black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom seeds
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon pickling salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash and dry the chili peppers. Cut the large ones up into small chunks or slice them into rings. 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 sterilized quart jar.
  2. To a pan, add all remaining ingredients. Stir.
  3. Heat and bring to a quick boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
  4. Pour the hot brine into the jar, over the peppers, and seal with a sterilized, tight lid. Cool and refrigerate.
  5. Let the peppers sit a week or two before using so they can get nicely pickled, though they are fine to eat right away. It is best to wait!

Notes

  • NOTE: These pickled peppers will last a few months this way. You can also process these pickled peppers in a hot water bath using proper procedures in order to keep them longer. Learn more about preserving peppers here.
