PICKLED CHILLI PEPPERS
Ingredients
Make enough pickling solution to cover the amount of chilli peppers that you wish to preserve.
Pickling Solution
454ml white distilled vinegar
50g granulated sugar
Warm both until sugar has dissolved, taste and add more sugar if you would like a sweeter pickle.
Peppers
This works best for fresh Jalapeno or Serrano peppers. They can be pickled whole or sliced.
Method
Whole: Thoroughly wash the chillis, slit at the pointed base of the chilli, this will allow the pickle to penetrate the chilli.
Pack into a jar.
Bring the pickling solution to the boil and pour over the chillies.
Allow to cool, seal and keep refrigerated.
Sliced: Thoroughly wash the chillies.
Slice into 1cm rings, pack into the jar with 2-3 cloves of peeled garlic.
Pour over boiling pickling solution.
Allow to cool, seal and keep refrigerated.
