Rainbow of Colors

It's time to start pickling some peppers!

Tonight I had enough peppers to fill a mason jar, so I decided I better get busy chopping them up and pickling them before they go to waste. I decided to mix all three types of peppers for an interesting blend (sweet yellow banana, red banana, and my one jalapeno). They make such a beautiful rainbow of colors in the jar! I know they look canned but technically they're not. I don't go through all the trouble of boiling jars, etc., etc. After all, there's only one jar, so I'm probably going to eat them all in the next few weeks anyway. So, I just pickle them and then keep them in the refrigerator. That way they last about three months and they're so great in salads!

It's so easy to do! Here's my pickling recipe:

Pickling Juice:

2 cups white vinegar

2/3 cup white sugar

1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds

1/2 teaspoon celery seeds

Place all pickling ingredients in a pot and bring to a rolling boil.

Place peppers in jar(s).

Pour in pickling juice and let cool.

Place in fridge and leave for one week.

Enjoy!

I just love your look and smell and taste you see, and how!
