Tasty Facts
When peeling bell peppers, pay attention to the taste of the partitions – if they are at least slightly bitter, they should be removed, since their bitterness will increase many times over in the workpiece. Also, pickled peppers will be very bitter if you mix it up and add at least 1 hot pepper instead of bell pepper.
For flavor, before (or even instead of) blanching, bell peppers can be pan-fried until golden brown.
Bulgarian pepper can be pickled whole, but for this you should take small-fruited varieties so that at least a few can fit in a jar. It is also recommended to take large jars so that the pepper appetizer looks solid. Keep in mind that a 3 liter jar will hold more peppers than a 3 liter jar. It is also worth considering that whole peppers are less susceptible to blanching and so that they do not lose their taste, prick them with a fork (at least 10 injections per pepper).
When pickling bell peppers, chili pepper can be replaced with black peppercorns (take a teaspoon for the indicated amount of vegetables).
If you pre-fill jars with prepared peppers with cold water, you can accurately determine the amount of brine needed. If there is not enough brine, you need to add a little boiling water to the jar.
When sterilizing, jars must be covered with lids.
Vinegar is recommended to be added at the end of cooking – directly into the jar to avoid the spread of a specific smell in the room.
Hot peppers are pickled in the same way, but in smaller jars (because hot peppers are not consumed in large quantities), so as not to deteriorate.
