Pickled Peppers

Pickled Peppers




Clockwise from Smallest Jar


I roasted all the peppers from my CSA share one evening... I soaked them in a water, vinegar and salt solution for several weeks,for some pickled peppers.  Then I used to Pickled Peppers to make some hot sauces.

Bunch of your favorite peppers
Salt, Chopped Onion, Chopped Garlic to taste
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, Optional
50/50 mixture of water and vinegar to cover peppers

Set oven to broil

Wash peppers



Arrange peppers in a single layer in a baking dish


 Turn peppers every few minutes until charred


Wearing Gloves, rub off the charred skins...


 Rinse remaining bits of charred skin off


Roughly chop peppers


Place in a large jar


Add salt, chopped onion, and chopped garlic to taste



Cover with 50/50 mixture of water and vinegar




Add crushed Red Pepper, if you prefer your peppers really spicy




Give a good shake and let rest in the fridge for several days to several weeks.   They should keep for quite sometime....
Use them as in, in sandwiches, salads and veggie dishes..or use them for hot sauces, dressing and vinegar..
