Ingredients

  • 2 litre jars
  • 1 KG red bell peppers cleaned, trimmed and sliced in half or quarters (depending on size)
  • 200 g water
  • 100 g vegetable oil
  • 100 g vinegar
  • 50 g sugar
  • 40 g kosher salt
  • 4 peppercorns
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 3 allspice
  • ½ head of garlic peeled and divided into cloves

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Sterilize jars in a hot water canning pot.
  2. In a large pot, combine all marinade ingredients except garlic. Bring to a boil.
  3. Add garlic and sliced bell peppers, and cook just until peppers soften and become pliable - this can take anywhere from two minutes to 8 minutes, depending on the size of the peppers (take care not to overcook!).
  4. Distribute peppers into sterilized jars, and cover with marinade, leaving ½ an inch of headspace. Cover with lid, and gently screw down the metal rim with two fingers, just until resistance is met (do not close jar tightly - the air should be able to escape between the lid and the rim for the jar to seal properly). Process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. Leave closed jar on the counter for 24 hours, until the lid has popped in and sealed properly (you should see a dip in the middle of the lid where the vacuum has sealed it).
