Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Peppadew piquant peppers (fresh or jarred, deseeded)
- 300 ml White vinegar
- 200 ml Water
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Whole black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 2 leaves Bay leaves
Instructions
Wash the Peppadew peppers thoroughly and carefully remove the seeds using a small knife. Wear gloves to protect your hands as the peppers can be spicy.
In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve completely.
Add the garlic slices, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, and bay leaves to the saucepan. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Pack the deseeded Peppadew peppers tightly into sterilized jars, ensuring there is minimal empty space but without crushing the peppers.
Pour the hot pickling liquid over the peppers, ensuring they are completely submerged. Divide the garlic, peppercorns, mustard seeds, and bay leaves equally among the jars.
Let the jars cool to room temperature. Seal tightly with lids and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before consuming for the flavors to develop. For best results, wait 3-5 days.
Store the pickled Peppadew peppers in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Always use clean utensils when retrieving peppers to maintain their freshness.
