Pickled Peppers
Hello Dear Friends,
Complementing our table, especially the companion of meat dishes, Pickled Peppers is one of my favorite recipes. In our house, hot peppers (except red pepper flakes) are hardly eaten. For this reason, I usually prefer sweet peppers when making pickles.
Making pickled peppers is so easy that it takes a maximum of 10 minutes after you prepare the pickle juice according to its measurements. So, as a matter of fact, you will both enjoy making homemade and additive-free pickles, and you will have another taste that is completely suitable for your taste :)
While pickling, you can pierce the peppers with a knife after washing them, or if the peppers are too long and the jar is small, you can break them in half as I did.
I used a 500 kg glass jar for 1 g of pepper. Since I like the look of the long stems, instead of cutting the stems, I cut the peppers into two parts by hand. In order to stack it better, I turned the jar on its side and placed it as tight as possible.
Your pickled pepper will start to turn yellow 3-4 days after you prepare it. It will be fully mature and ready to eat in 10-12 days.
If you want to prepare 1 kilo of pepper, you can use a 2 kilo jar, the brine water in the measurements I gave will come right.
