Pickled Peppers

I had a bumper crop of banana peppers one summer so I decided to learn to pickle them and this is the recipe I used:

  • 5-cups white vinegar
  • 1-cup water
  • 4 tsp. pickling salt
  • 2 TBS sugar
  • 3 to 4 garlic cloves smashed

Boil together then simmer for about 5 minutes to let the garlic meld into the liquid.  Remove the garlic and pour the vinegar into your prepared jars with the pepper rings maintaining ½” headspace.  Place the lids and process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

You can also use this recipe with any kind of hot peppers.
