Layer the peppers into a jar as tightly as possible. Pick a jar with a wide opening for easy serving. I picked one that is more decorative to put on the table for some color while the peppers pickle.

Add liquid to jar, but leave at least one inch at the top for expansion before sealing. Store on counter for 24 hours out of direct sunlight. After that, store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

It is important to note that this is not canning. You can use the same recipe for canning, but add 1 tsp. of canning salt, use real canning jars, and process them per normal canning procedures. Enjoy!
