Categories     Appetizer

Time 21m

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 - 15 cherry peppers
1 clove garlic
1 tsp black peppercorns
1 small bunch cilantro
1 bay leaf
1½ cups white wine vinegar
¼ cup white balsamic vinegar
1 cup water
1 tsp coarse salt
2 tsp white sugar

Steps:

  • Wash and dry the peppers and put them in a glass jar. You can also use any non-reactive storage container. If you want your peppers de-seeded and de-veined, and cut into pieces, do it now. You can mix and match cut and whole peppers in the same jar, or store them separately.
  • Peel the garlic clove, cut it in half and add it to the cherry peppers along with the black peppercorns, cilantro and the bay leaf.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the vinegars, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil and let it cook for 1 minute. Remove the liquid mixture from the heat and immediately pour over the peppers.
  • Let the contents of the jar cool completely at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for 1 week. The peppers will be ready for eating after 1 week and will store in a fridge for up to 2-3 months.

Pickled Eggs with Beets and Hot Cherry Peppers image

Because my grandmother didn't measure anything when she cooked, I had to guess when I decided to duplicate her recipe for pickled eggs. The color becomes more intense the longer they marinate. -Judie Thurstenson, Colcord, OK

PICKLED STUFFED CHERRY HOT PEPPERS



Pickled Stuffed Cherry Hot Peppers image

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!

Categories     Cheese Appetizers

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 fresh hot cherry peppers
3 oz italian prosciutto
1 c extra virgin olive oil
3 large fresh garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar, good quality
3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
3 sprigs of fresh oregano
1 tsp kosher salt

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!

Serve the chicken over the noodles and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top.;

PICKLED CHERRY PEPPERS - CANNING



Pickled Cherry Peppers - Canning image

I love those cherry peppers from the grocer. Growing just one bush can give you enough supply for a year. Great for use in Italian dishes, stuffed with cheese or on sandwiches, but especially good in recipe #475541. Update: I find the red and yellow peppers are sweeter. The green ones have too much of a 'bite'.

Categories     Peppers

Time 30m

Yield 5 pints

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs cherry peppers
4 cups white vinegar
1 1/2 cups water
1 -4 tablespoon sugar (to taste)
1 1/3 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano per jar
1 -2 garlic cloves per jar (whole or halved)
1 small bay leaf per jar
2 peppercorn per jars

Steps:

  • Sterilize 5 pint-sized canning jars, rings and lids by boiling them in a large pot for at least 10 minutes, making sure they are completely submerged.
  • Rinse the cherry peppers thoroughly under cool running water, removing any visible dirt or debris. Trim the stem from each pepper with a small, sharp knife. You do not need to actually remove the stem; simply cut it down to a manageable size.
  • Place the peppers into your sterilized jars. They should fill the jars most of the way, but don't forcibly stuff them inside. Add spices and garlic cloves to each jar.
  • Put the vinegar, water, sugar, salt and sugar into a saucepan. Bring these ingredients to a gentle simmer and allow them to cook until the sugar and salt completely dissolve, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the vinegar mixture over the ingredients in each jar. Leave approximately 1/4 inch of air at the top of each jar. Wipe the rim of each jar with a paper towel, then put the lids and rings on the jars.
  • Process the jars in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. You should do this with a water bath canner if possible. If not, fill a large pot with hot water, add the jars (which should be standing upright and fully submerged with 1 inch of water over the top of the lids), cover and bring the water to a boil for at least 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the hot water, allow them to cool, then check the seal by pressing on the top of each jar with a finger. If the top is slightly inverted and does not give when you press on it, the jar is properly sealed. Store properly sealed jars for several weeks before eating the peppers.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Peppers: Select firm, ripe cherry peppers with vibrant color. Avoid peppers with blemishes or bruises.
  • Prepare Peppers Properly: Wash and dry the peppers thoroughly. Remove the stems and seeds to reduce heat level (optional).
  • Use a Clean Jar: Sterilize a glass jar and lid by boiling them in water for 10 minutes. This prevents contamination and ensures safe storage.
  • Pack Peppers Tightly: Pack the peppers tightly into the jar, but do not overcrowd. Leave about 1 inch of headspace at the top of the jar.
  • Make the Brine: Combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and spices in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Pour Brine Over Peppers: Pour the cooled brine over the peppers in the jar. Make sure the peppers are completely submerged in the liquid.
  • Seal and Store: Seal the jar tightly with the sterilized lid. Label the jar with the date and contents. Store in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks before enjoying.

Conclusion:

Pickled hot cherry peppers are a delicious and versatile condiment that can add a spicy kick to various dishes. Whether you prefer them whole or sliced, these pickled peppers are sure to tantalize your taste buds. Experiment with different pepper varieties and brine flavors to create your own unique pickled pepper creations. With proper preparation and storage, you can enjoy these pickled peppers for months to come. So, gather your ingredients, sterilize your jars, and embark on a flavorful pickling adventure!
