Sweet Pickled Peppers

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

Boil Brine:
3 cups water
3 cups white vinegar
3 cups white sugar
1 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp whole allspice
Strain allspice out.
Pour over prepared peppers in jar and seal.

Method:
Use waterever color of peppers you want. Wash and cut in different shapes…not tiny, make them about a couple of inches across. Different is colors is pretty and looks nice in the jars.


A quarter bushle makes 4 litres of peppers.

Bring a large pot of  water to the boil Blanch peppers for 30  – 60 seconds.
Do not leave them over 60 seconds as the skins will peel off. 

Put hot peppers into the hot jars and pour boiling bring over. Put in 1 large clove of garlic which I usually put in first and one medium bunch of dill. If you want to make hot peppers, put in a piece of hot pepper, if you want to. Seal it. You do not have to process this. This is the best pickle best pickled peppers you’ve ever tasted.
