As you may know by now I love a quick and easy tasty recipe. Here we have Easy Pickled Green Chillies. I grew these cayenne peppers in pots on our window sill at home and because they were producing so many of them quite quickly I wanted a way to preserve them for future use. I have picked when green but you can wait and do the same when red.
Here are the ingredients you will need for one jam jar size:
Half a jar of clear vinegar.
1.5 teaspoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
A big bunch of green chillies
500ml hot water
OK here’s what you need to do:
Combine the vinegar with the sugar and salt in the jar you will be using to store them when finished.
Put the lid on and give it a good shake so that the sugar and salt dissolve in the vinegar.
Top and tail the chillies and then chop in 1cm lengths.
Place in a large bowl and pour over the hot water.
Leave for 30 seconds and then scoop out with a slotted spoon.
Try and leave behind as many of the chilli seeds as possible – you don’t need or really want them all as they are pretty hot.
Place the chillies into the jar with the vinegar, sugar and salt solution.
Pop in the fridge and leave for a week before using.

I can’t get away with pickled things – it’s the smell of the vinegar. Yet strangely, I like normal vinegar

Definitely need to send this to my husband, he LOVES chilis and gets upset when we run out of pickled jalapenos.
I’ve never heard of pickling chilliest before, a great idea! #KCACOLS

What a great idea. I’ve never really thought of pickling things to preserve them. I might give it a go. Pen x #KCACOLS

I love chillies and I love all things pickled! Win! Thanks for sharing 😉 #kcacols
Might give this a go – do they retain their heat? I’m not a huge chilli fan so they always go funny after a while!! #kcacols
I think it mellows them a bit and because they are pickled it softens them up too.
Ohhh got to love an easy recipe. This looks simple but great. Thanks so much for linking with #KCACOLS. We hope you come back next week.
