Pickled Pepper in Vinegar

Pickled Pepper in Vinegar

I've been perfecting this pickled peppers recipe for 3 years, and they're always spot on, spicy and crunchy. 

While we're not huge pickle-in-vinegar enthusiasts, these are essential for Romanian Beef Salad. Annually, I ensure my pantry is stocked with at least 10 jars each of these peppers and cucumbers in vinegar. 

By the way, cucumbers made with this recipe turn out exceptionally delicious. This year, I added green tomatoes, cauliflower, and red cabbage, and I'm eager to see the results.
