Instant pickled bell pepper

Besides the fact that this preparation is good in itself as a cold marinated appetizer, its huge advantage is that there are no extra ingredients and we marinate without sterilization, which means that everything takes a minimum of time. Therefore, if you have a lot of pepper and little time, then I suggest you try rolling up sweet bell peppers in a marinade for the winter. A simple, step-by-step recipe with photos is at your service. Let's try to prepare pickled peppers for the winter?!

Ingredients :

• sweet pepper - 3 kilograms;
• sugar - 1 glass;
• salt - 1 heaped tablespoon;
• vinegar 6% - 1 glass;
• vegetable oil - 1 cup;
• peppercorns;
• bay leaf - 3 pieces;
• water - 1 liter.

How to cook pickled peppers for the winter

First, we need to wash the pepper well and clear it of the seeds inside and cut it into pieces according to the height of the fruit. The slices can be of any width. The size of the pieces I made can be seen in the photo.

Of course, you can skip cutting and roll up the whole peppers, but it’s more convenient to work with small slices. Try closing it this way and that way, and then decide which is more convenient for you.

Now take a larger pan and pour water into it. You need to add everything for the marinade to the water, that is, salt, sugar, vinegar, vegetable oil, bay leaf, peppercorns.

While the marinade is boiling, you need to think about sterilization of jars.

If there are not many of them, then I usually process them in the microwave. As for me, it’s quick and convenient, no extra pots or kettles. Just fill a clean jar with water, about half full, and microwave for 10 minutes at maximum power.

The marinade has boiled. We take approximately ⅓ of our pepper and put it in the marinade. You need to boil for 3-5 minutes and that’s it.

Place the processed peppers tightly in a jar and fill them with marinade up to the shoulders. We carry out this procedure until the pepper or marinade runs out.

Filled jars just need to be rolled up with clean lids and wrapped until cool. This product should be stored in a cool place.

I really love this recipe, it takes a minimum of effort, and the result is very tasty. This marinated bell pepper without sterilization is ideal for an appetizer or with potatoes. 🙂 Try to make such a preparation - you won’t regret it. Bon appetit.
