During the summer at the farmer's market there are some amazing peppers. The variety is wonderful. Spicy, mild, sweet and OR KILLER! I bought several pounds of red peppers to make my grandmother's canned garlic peppers.
My Dad loves to make a sandwiches with these and always seemed ecstatic whenever Grandma would send a jar in the mail. He would take bread, a little mayo or Miracle Whip, red onion and flatten out a pepper. That's it! Very simple and very good!
Cut peppers into half or fourths. In olive oil fry the pieces and flatten until tender. This is going to take some time especially if you have several pounds. You know? I recommend doing maybe 5-6 peppers to fit into a half quart jar. After you fried the peppers set them aside. Take as much garlic as you want and slice the cloves into thin pieces.
Now stuff the jar with a layer of peppers. Flattening peppers then layer garlic. Repeat the layering until the jar is stuffed. Push down the peppers and get rid of the air bubbles. Leave about 1/2 inch space at the top. Sprinkle a little sugar on top then pour apple cider vinegar into the jar until 1/4 inch at top. Screw on the lid.
I like to shake the jar to get the sugar dissolved and the vinegar spread down through the peppers.
Keep the jar in the fridge and within 2 weeks you can enjoy them!
