Quick Pickled Banana Peppers (1)

Every Summer when our garden full of peppers gets out of control I get crazy excited to partake in some lazy girl canning. Fridge pickling is quick and easy and perfect for when you have a large amount of fresh peppers on hand. I could go the traditional canning route and all, but refrigerator pickles are so darn fast to throw together and we devour them so fast there’s no need to get too complicated!

This year I’ve had so many peppers that I’ve gifted a few jars of these quick pickled banana peppers and my onion and garlic spiked pickled peppersto my neighbors. We’ve been putting them on everything! So far the crowd favorites have been subs, pizza (my neighbor Jen’s brilliant idea!), avocado toast, nachos, tacos, and salads.

I kept things super simple with my jar-o-banana-peppers, but feel free to add any extras to the mix if you have them handy! Popular pickled pepper mix-ins include celery seeds, mustard seeds, and coriander seeds. I even went a little crazy once and added curry powder to my pickled peppers and wound up with a crazy tasty jar of curry-flavored jalapeño peppers. Let your taste buds be your guide and have fun with it! The possibilities are endless!

Servings: 19 servings

Author: Jenn Laughlin - Peas and Crayons

Ingredients

  • 14-16 oz fresh banana peppers
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 cups vinegar (white vinegar, winevinegar, white balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar)
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 1/2-1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Clean your mason jar.

  • Bring water and vinegar to a boil in a medium saucepan.

  • While you wait for the pot to boil, slice your peppers into discs, discarding the stem.

  • Fill jar with banana peppers.

  • Once water-vinegar mixture has reached a boil, add minced garlic and salt and remove from heat.

  • Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes, then pour over banana peppers in your jar. Allow jar to reach room temperature.

  • Once your jar-o-peppers has cooled, slap on the lid and pop in the fridge. That's it! You can dive in while they're al-dente in 30-60 minutes if you'd like (they'll have a fresh crunch) or give them a good 24+ hours or so to soften up a bit and marinate in the seasoned vinegar. For even softer peppers you can add the freshly sliced peppers and garlic to the vinegar mixture while boiling and let the peppers blanch for 5 minutes before allowing to cool and jarring.

Notes

You'll also want to have a 32 or 38 ounce mason jar with a lid handy. I used a 38 oz jar for mine!

Craving sweet banana peppers instead of savory? Feel free to add a little sugar to sweeten them up! When the vinegar mixture is heated, dissolve 1/2-3/4 cup of sugar into the vinegar before pouring over peppers.

Want them spicy? Add some jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the jar!

Feel free to mix and match your favorite herbs and spices! Whole coriander seeds, mustard seeds, and celery seeds are all popular pickled pepper add-ins!
