Bitter pepper pickled for winter without sterilization

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to pickle bitter pepper for the winter? Prepare all the necessary products. Canned hot pepper is not a very popular preparation and you can't eat a lot of such pepper. Therefore, we will cook a small amount of pepper in the smallest jars. Pepper can be taken in any size, any shape and any color. I advise you to choose medium-sized varieties of pepper - such that for one bite. A round hot pepper or a bell pepper is perfect.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the pepper and prick it in several places with a toothpick. Many varieties of hot pepper have very thick walls, and we need the marinade to get inside the peppercorns.

3. Step 3:

   

   Sterilize the jars in any convenient way. I just put jars with a small amount of water in the microwave for 5-7 minutes. But you can also sterilize them in the oven at 100 degrees for about 30 minutes, or just hold them over steam or pour boiling water. It is enough to boil the lids for minutes.

4. Step 4:

   

   Fill the jars with peppercorns.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour boiling water, cover with lids and leave for 10 minutes.

9. Step 8:

10. Step 9:

    

    Pour in the vinegar. This recipe uses 6-9% vinegar, but if you have an essence, then dilute it with water in a ratio of 1:8. Bring the marinade to a boil.

11. Step 10:

    

    Pour the boiling marinade into the jar and close the lid tightly or roll up. Sterilization is not required.
