Marinated Red Peppers Recipe

Form my numerous red pepper recipes : marinated red peppers, my most favorite appetizer. Both my mom and grandma would make these marinated red peppers every single year, in late summer or early fall. They’d can and save these for wintertime. I remember, I could barely wait for these to be opened. And as the season got slightly colder, I’d ask my mom to open a jar of marinated red peppers. I loved these with fried or mashed potatoes. The two together, tasted so-so good, so special.

Until now, when I make marinated red peppers, I’d fry some potatoes , have these on the side, eat and be happy. Unfortunately, none of my children eats marinated red peppers or any other pepper dish, so I’d usually make a small batch, just for myself, and won’t bother about canning, however, I made sure to give details about canning, in my YouTube tutorial, so pay attention to that if you are planning to can these.

I’d still suggest to place these in glass or plastic containers and store in fridge or freezer.

I made a quick recipe for a good amount, but you can always add more, it’s pretty simple and you’ll figure out when you watch the YouTube tutorial.

Hope you guys try these delicious marinated red peppers and enjoy it!
