...but I did pickle some peppers.
I dill-pickled 'em, to be exact.
This endeavor was triggered by a pickling post I recently saw on The Kitchn and my never-ending love for dilly beans.
Here's what I did:
-I capped, seeded, and de-veined a huge bag full of peppers. Important note: Wash your hands thoroughly after doing this, even if you naively think the peppers are mild and in no way hot. [Heed my words. I (and my left eyeball) learned this the hard way.]
-I prepared the brine recipe perfected by my Mamoxicillan, and heated it to its boiling point.
-I covered the peppers in the brine and left them in the fridge for two days so everyone could meet and get to know each other. (You could certainly can them if you'd like.)
Yes indeedly, pickled peppers please my palate, even if Peter Piper didn't pick a peck for me.

I'm so into pickling now too! They look great, I love nibbling on pickles plus they're better for you than sweets when you're feeling peckish!
very cool, I would have never thought to pickle peppers on my own
cuu-ute! I am excited for my CSA to start so I can begin pickling all the 'extras'
Wow, that's really cool. I've never thought about pickling my own foods.
Once I started getting all the lovely little peppers from the farm I need to do this
yum!! I love pickled peppers!
Love the intro!
I am a pepper-holic. Eat them with my eggs almost every day.
Must try this one, as I love pickled eggs. Do you like pickled eggs?
Your post cracked me up! Your pickled peppers look great!
I can't count the amount of times I have thrown away contact lenses because of mishandling peppers. I know have plastic gloves near the kitchen that I always use.
picked peppers are a great snack too!
Oh what fun, I want to try this! And I love your opening line.
How colorful .. and tasty!
Woohhh, I never pickle anymore... well not since I was like five and opened a big bad of pickling lime in my eye and had to where an eye patch for two weeks, so consider your eye experience lucky.
Perfect post- funny, pretty photo and a delicious recipe for pickling peppers.
Umm, I heart peppers...could eat a whole jar.
Grace Love this really!!! xoxoxGloria
It doesn't look like a peck of pickled peppers. Great color, though!
I've never pickled peppers before - you make me want to try.
So do you eat them just like pickles? I bet they would be great on sandwiches.
I didn't know you could pickle a pepper!
You go girl! This make me want to pickle something. Anything.
Ok, it's decided. At some point before the summer is over, I have to make some pickled peppers! They sound great.
So cute, I love pickled peppers.
tasty - I had a girlfriend a long time ago named jennifer and I brought jars of this stuff (similar but not exactly- pickled hot peppers) to her house early on and her mom called it 'jenny bait'
Pickled peppers could be used for so many things Grace , thanks for telling us how to do it!
Dill pickle anything totally works for me. I may have to try this.
You're so cute, and I'm glad you pickled those peppers- they sound so addictive and remind me of my mothers' pickled peppers and spicy dills! My mouth is watering just looking at your pictures!
We just polished off the last jar of my dilly beans. These pickled peppers look like they would be just the thing to eat until I can 'can' some more beans. Yum- good thinking Grace!
These pickled peppers are probably perfectly pleasing to the most pickiest pepper eater.
Great looking pickled peppers - I love the colors...I know the pain your left eye experienced, it's baaad news!
A great thing to try when we have peppers running out of our ears this summer!
My mom makes sweet pickles. I guess some people call them bread and butter? But I think that's a dumb name.
Have you seen everything Smitten Kitchen pickles? Even grapes!
This a really nice way to keep them "fresh". Love the colors...yummie!
I've never pickled anything but now I'm craving these on top of a grilled cheese sandwich. Is that weird?
I love making pickles, but have never tried peppers!
These sound great!
Thanks for sharing!
These look great and just loving them! My Mom would make this way, and duh! I never gave it a thought, instead I've been buying them! Not anymore! Thanks, great post!
Your last part made me laugh!
This seems easier than I expected it to be! I will have to try it out!
So colourful Grace looks like they turned out gorgeous.
I really don't do peppers but the color of them are wonderful...
Those look beautiful, I love pepperocinis and pretty much any other pickle that I've met!
hhahahaa cute post!
I just bought The Joy of Pickling yesterday! I plan on pickling everything in sight!
OMG, I had a terrible experience once seeding jalapenos. Long story but let's just say I agree with you on the precaution.
I could so throw these on a burger right now, even though it's about 8 AM! :D
I haven't pickled anything in a long time. You've inspired me!
Oh yum! I have been dying to pickle jalapenos. and green beans and anything really I could stick into a bloody mary
I'm sniffing a new event called Pick a Peck with how many ways can you use pickled peppers. I would put them in everything - right up there on my "I love this" chart.
Just found your blog and I love it. I'm another Southern girl gone astray and am also passionate about food. I will definitely be back frequently to enjoy your musings. Thanks!
That is seriously a great idea.
I never considered pickling peppers...for real. What a great idea!
While I am not a fan of pickled peppers, I know my Dad would be so I should make a batch for him.
Very creative way to introduce your recipe. I love it!
I've been thinking I might be a piper or something. In my old age (heee...) I've been more interested in things like this as long as they're not too sweet. Then I could slather it all over everything like boigahs and grilled snawsages...Mmmm...
I want to pickle a peck of peppers! :-) I thank you and your left eye for passing on the tip about washing hands! Seriously, tho, I would love to pickle peppers! They look lovely!
This is so my kind of food!
I'm planning on trying pickling for the first time this summer - thanks for making it look so easy and delicious!
