Honey-Pickled Bell Peppers

Pepper with honey

  • 11 lb bell peppers
  • 1 quart of 6% vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups oil
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 10–12 whole cloves
  • 10–12 whole black peppercorns
  • 3–5 whole allspice berries
  • 8–10 bay leaves
  • 2 heads garlic

Wash the peppers, remove the stems and seeds, and cut them into strips or quarters.

Bring the vinegar, oil, and honey to a boil. Add the spices (except the garlic) and simmer for 5 minutes.

Add the peppers to the marinade, bring it back to a boil, and cook for another 5–7 minutes.

Place a clove of garlic in sterilized warm jars, fill the jars with the peppers, pour in the marinade, and seal the jars.
