Delicious facts
When peeling bell peppers, pay attention to the taste of the partitions – if they are even slightly bitter, they should be removed, since their bitterness will increase many times in the preparation. 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 fried in a pan until golden brown.
Bell peppers can be pickled whole, but for this you should take small-fruited varieties so that at least a few fit in the jar. It is also recommended to take large jars so that the pepper snack looks solid. Keep in mind that a 3-liter jar will hold more peppers than a 10-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 XNUMX injections for pepper).
When pickling bell peppers, chili can be replaced with black peppercorns (take a teaspoon for the specified amount of vegetables).
If you pre-fill the jars with prepared pepper with cold water, then you can accurately determine the amount of required brine. If there is not enough brine, you need to add a little boiling water to the jar.
During sterilization, the jars must be covered with lids.
It is recommended to add vinegar at the end of cooking – directly to the jar to avoid the spread of a specific smell in the room.
In the same way, bitter peppers are pickled, but in smaller jars (since hot peppers are not consumed in large quantities), so as not to spoil.
