Pickled Hot Peppers Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Peppers

   Wash the hot peppers thoroughly. Remove the stems and slice them into rings or leave them whole, depending on your preference.

2. 2

   Make the Brine

   In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, salt, sugar, garlic, black peppercorns, oregano, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the salt and sugar dissolve.

3. 3

   Pickle the Peppers

   Once the brine is boiling, add the prepared hot peppers. Remove from heat and let them sit for about 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Transfer to Jars

   Using a slotted spoon, transfer the peppers to sterilized jars. Pour the hot brine over the peppers, ensuring they are fully submerged.

5. 5

   Seal and Cool

   Seal the jars with lids and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, store them in the refrigerator.

6. 6

   Wait and Enjoy

   For best flavor, let the pickled peppers sit in the fridge for at least 24 hours before consuming. They can be enjoyed for up to 2 months.
