Ingredients

  • 1 lb cherry bomb peppers washed and dried
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled
  • 6 ea black peppercorns 3 per jar
  • 1 tsp pickling spice
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 2 Tbsp cane sugar organic preferred
  • 1 tsp salt pickling
  • 2 C. vinegar
  • 1 C. water

Instructions

  • Place water, vinegar, salt and sugar in a pot and bring to a simmer, then turn off and allow to cool.
  • Use a paring knife or kitchen scissors - trim the excess stem from your peppers and set aside. Slice 1 large or 2 smaller yellow wax peppers into thin rings and set those aside too.
  • Place the cherry bomb and yellow wax peppers in your jar. Approx. one lb of peppers will fit between 2 pint wide mouth canning jars. Pack tightly.  
  • To each jar, add 2 cloves garlic, 3 whole peppercorns, 1/2 tsp pickling spice and 2 bay leaves. 
  • Pour cooled liquid over the peppers to 1/2 inch of the lip of the jar. Wipe rims. Apply seals and bands. Refrigerate for 24 hours before enjoying.

If canning in a water bath:

  • Prepare waterbath, jars and lids prior to step #1. 
  • After applying seals and bands, process in a waterbath for 15 minutes.
