Pickled Bell Peppers

Directions

Wash peppers, cut into quarters, remove cores and seeds, and cut away any blemishes.

Slice peppers in strips.

Boil sugar, vinegar, and water for 1 minute.

Add peppers and bring to a boil. Place ½ clove of garlic and ¼ teaspoon salt in each sterile half-pint jar; double the amounts for pint jars.

Add pepper strips and cover with hot vinegar mixture, leaving ½-inch headspace.

Adjust lids and process according to the recommendations.
