Instructions

Step 1

Mix the sliced bell peppers and onions with pickling salt in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours, then rinse in a colander and drain. Combine the remaining ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil then simmer for a couple of minutes to dissolve the sugar. Add the peppers and onions to the pot and bring back to a simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Using tongs, place pickles in a sterilized jar then pour in the brine leaving 1/2" head space. Cap and leave on the counter for 2 hours. Once the jars have cooled on the counter they should be refrigerated. And ready to eat after being chilled. Makes just less than 1 quart, depending on the size of your peppers.
