Pickled peppers:
5 cups Cider or white vinegar (5% vinegar) (cider vinegar will not be a clear liquid but I prefer the taste)
1 cup water
10 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
5-6 bay leaves
A few oregano sprigs
2 tbsp picking salt (kosher will work)
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp coriander seeds
Peppers (I used a mix of hot peppers: tabascos, wax, cayenne,
jalapenos, pequin, thai, serranos)
Carrots (optional but they go nicely with jalapenos)
Put vinegar and spices in a pot and bring it to boil. Blanch or steam
(very lightly) peppers and carrots. Put the peppers and carrots in 2
quart jars and (while still hot) pour the hot vinegar solution. I
like to include the garlic, bay leaves and some coriander seeds in the
jars, it looks pretty. Cover and let it cool down to room
temperature. Refrigerate and wait a couple of days for the pickles to
be `done'. This can be stored in the fridge.
If you are making more, or using 1/2 pint jars, then pressure can (or water can) as usual. I did this and pressure was from 6 to 9 psi for about 10 minutes. Use some vinegar in the water bath and 3 quarts boiling water (this is what my pressure canner requires).
note: this works better if you make a little hole in the peppers, or open a little slit, this way the pickling mix will go in and they will not float.

Sun, May 17, 2009 - 1:07 AMHello,
How many peppers did you use? And is it necessary to can these if I am only making a small jar to use? Will it keep in the fridge? -

Sun, May 17, 2009 - 6:15 AMThe recipe above makes two quarts approximately. I do not can them if I will be storing in the fridge, they will last virtually forever under refrigeration. -

Wed, September 9, 2009 - 10:07 AMIs the sugar essential to the preservation? I am trying to avoid sugar whenever possible.
Thanx! -

Re: Pickled peppers
Wed, September 9, 2009 - 10:54 AMNo, sugar plays no role in preserving this, just the vinegar. The sugar does affect the taste and help tame the sharpness of the vinegar, however, many recipes for picking use no sugar. -
