Pickled Peppers Tips
What are the best peppers for pickling?
You can pickle any pepper of your choice! You can go from sweet, to medium, all the way to super-hot peppers. You can never go wrong with a classic jalapeno which provides just the right amount of heat. No matter what kind (or kinds) you choose, consider wearing gloves when cutting them up—and making sure to never touch your face. Learn more about the different
types of peppers.
How can you serve pickled peppers?
While pickled peppers are a great snack just on their own, they also go great with
carnitas, fresh guacamole or salsa, and even sandwiches. You can even use the pickling liquid in a batch of
homemade salad dressing.
How long do pickled peppers last?
An unopened jar of pickled peppers can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 years. Once opened, it must be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container. You have up to 3 months to enjoy your delicious peppers!
