Have you ever tried making your own pickled peppers?

Ingredients:
- 1 pound of mixed peppers (bell peppers, jalapeños, or whatever you like)
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions:
- Prep the Peppers: Wash the peppers thoroughly. Slice them into rings or strips, depending on your preference. Remove seeds if you want them less spicy.
- Make the Brine: In a saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring it to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and salt completely.
- Pack the Jars: Divide the garlic cloves, peppercorns, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, and bay leaf evenly among your sterilized jars. Pack the pepper slices into the jars, leaving a little room at the top.
- Pour the Brine: Carefully pour the hot brine over the peppers, making sure they are completely submerged. Leave about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
- Seal and Cool: Tightly screw on the lids. Let the jars cool to room temperature before placing them in the fridge.
- Wait (the hard part!): Allow the peppers to pickle for at least 24 hours before tasting. The flavors will intensify the longer they sit.
Conclusion:
And there you have it – homemade pickled peppers!
