Total Time14 days 30 minutes
Servings: 1 quart jar

Ingredients

  • peppers any type
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp salt sea, kosher or pickling
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • fresh dill a few sprigs
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic lightly crushed
  • peppercorns one dozen per jar
  • celery seed pinch

Instructions

  • Add the fresh dill, cloves of crushed garlic, and peppercorns to the bottom of a quart jar.
  • Prepare the brine by adding the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt in a saucepan on the stovetop. Heat until the sugar and salt dissolve, but then allow the brine to cool slightly before adding to peppers.
  • Wash the peppers. Poke each pepper with a sharp knife in a couple places to allow the brine to penetrate the peppers.
  • Carefully pack the peppers into the jar, trying to fit as many as possible inside.
  • Pour the brine over the top of the peppers until they are completely submerged. Top off with more brine or vinegar if settling occurs.
  • Add a lid to the jar and refrigerate for 2 weeks before enjoying. Use within 6 months for best quality and flavour.
