If you’re looking for a simple and tasty way to preserve peppers for the winter, this no-preservative pickled pepper recipe is perfect for you! Follow this easy step-by-step method to prepare flavorful pickled peppers that you can enjoy all year round.

Ingredients:

2 kg clean horn peppers (or other types of peppers)

Fresh parsley or onions (optional)

4 sterile 1-liter jars

1 bay leaf per jar

1 peppercorn per jar

2 teaspoons of sugar

3 tablespoons of 9% alcoholic vinegar

Hot water (to fill the jars)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Peppers and Jars

Wash and clean the peppers thoroughly. Slice them if needed or keep them whole, depending on your preference. Use sterile 1-liter jars and tightly pack the peppers inside. Add a bay leaf and a peppercorn to each jar for extra flavor. Optionally, add fresh parsley or sliced onions for added taste and texture.

2. Make the Pickling Solution

Add 2 teaspoons of sugar and 3 tablespoons of 9% alcoholic vinegar to each jar. Carefully pour in hot water to fill the jars to the top. To prevent the jars from cracking, add the water gradually.

3. Seal and Pasteurize

Close the jars tightly with clean lids and gently shake them to mix the ingredients. Next, place the jars in a pot of hot water and pasteurize for 30 minutes. This process ensures the peppers are properly preserved.

4. Cool and Store

After pasteurization, leave the jars in a warm place to cool down gradually. Once cooled, store them in a cold place. These pickled peppers can last for up to a year, making them a perfect addition to your winter pantry.
