Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare Peppers: Start by washing the bell peppers thoroughly and removing the stems. Slice the peppers into desired shapes and sizes.
-
Prepare Pickling Liquid: In a large stainless steel or enamel pot, combine white vinegar, water, pickling salt, and sugar. Stir well until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
-
Boil the Liquid: Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the pickling liquid to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Pack the Jars: While the pickling liquid is simmering, prepare your canning jars. Ensure they are clean and sterilized. Pack the sliced peppers tightly into the jars, leaving about 3/4 inch of headspace at the top.
-
Add the Pickling Liquid: Carefully pour the hot pickling liquid into the jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace from the rim. Use a clean utensil to remove any air bubbles trapped in the jars.
-
Seal the Jars: Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue. Place the lids on the jars and tighten them securely.
-
Process the Jars: Place the filled and sealed jars into a boiling water bath canner, ensuring they are fully submerged in water. Process the jars for 15 minutes if you are at altitudes up to 1000 feet.
-
Cool and Store: After processing, carefully remove the jars from the water bath using canning tongs and place them on a clean towel or rack to cool. Once cooled, check the seals to ensure they are tight. Store the pickled hot peppers in a cool, dark place for optimal flavor.
-
Enjoy: These pickled hot peppers are ready to enjoy immediately, but their flavor will continue to develop over time. Serve them as a flavorful addition to sandwiches, salads, or as a tasty condiment for your favorite dishes.
