Pickled Banana Pepper Rings
Pickled Banana Pepper Rings are crunchy refrigerator pickles made with sliced banana peppers, garlic, spices, and a tangy vinegar brine.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds banana peppers
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 1/2 cups white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp black peppercorns
Instructions
- Wash the banana peppers thoroughly, remove the stems, and slice them into thin rings using a sharp knife.
- Remove seeds if you prefer a milder pickle, or leave some seeds intact for additional heat and flavor.
- Place garlic cloves, oregano, mustard seeds, and peppercorns into clean glass jars before adding the peppers.
- Fill the jars with pepper rings, gently pressing them down while keeping enough space for the pickling liquid.
- Heat vinegar, water, salt, and sugar in a saucepan until the mixture becomes fully dissolved and slightly warm.
- Pour the brine over the peppers, making sure every ring is covered beneath the surface.
- Cool the jars before sealing, then refrigerate overnight before using them as a topping or snack.
