PICKLED STUFFED CHERRY HOT PEPPERS
One day my hubby and I were at one of our local grocery stores which has a lot of nice things on their salad bar. I saw these and tried them and wow they were amazing but so expensive. So I took one home and took it a part and this is what I came up with. We grew Cherry Hot Peppers this year so that even made them cheaper!

Steps:
- 1. Combine the oil, garlic, vinegars, oregano and salt in a small sauce pan. Bring to just a simmer and simmer for 2 minutes and turn off the heat. This will help the flavors marry. Set aside to cool.
- 2. In the meantime take a small knife, cut the top off as you would a pumpkin. Remove the seeds by either using your knife or a small measuring spoon.
- 3. Now cut a cube of provolone and a piece of the prosciutto to the size of your hot cherry pepper. This will most likely change for each pepper depending on their size and shape.
- 4. Wrap the prosciutto around your cubed cheese and place inside the cherry pepper. Continue with all the remaining peppers.
- 5. Place your stuffed peppers in a container which has a secrued lid. Pour the cooled vinegar and oil mixture over your peppers. If you do not have enough liquid you can always add additional olive oil. My peppers were a little small so I didn't have to add any liquid.
- 6. Put the lid on and gently tip your container upside down af few times. Place in the frig for at least 24 hours the longer the better as the flavors will improve!

Tips:
- Select firm, ripe cherry peppers: Choose cherry peppers that are firm, plump, and have a deep red color. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have any soft spots.
- Make a flavorful marinade: The marinade for the cherry peppers is made with olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, and salt. You can adjust the flavors of the marinade to your liking, adding more garlic or oregano if you prefer.
- Marinate the peppers overnight: The longer the peppers marinate, the more flavorful they will be. If you are short on time, you can marinate the peppers for at least 30 minutes, but overnight is best.
- Stuff the peppers with capicola and provolone: Capicola and provolone are classic Italian ingredients that pair perfectly with the slightly spicy cherry peppers. You can also use other fillings, such as pepperoni, salami, or ham.
- Bake the peppers until the cheese is melted and bubbly: The peppers should be baked for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. You can also broil the peppers for a few minutes at the end to get a nice golden crust.
Conclusion:
Marinated cherry peppers stuffed with capicola and provolone are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for parties or potlucks. They are also a great way to use up leftover cherry peppers. With their flavorful marinade, tender filling, and melted cheese, these peppers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a tasty and easy appetizer, give these marinated cherry peppers a try.
