Pimentos (pickled peppers)

"These peppers are crispier than pimentos, and don't have that kind of weird undertaste that pimentos have. If you don't like your 'pimentos' hot, leave the jalepenos out."

  1. For years I have been looking for a recipe for bell peppers like the Jewish Deli here in Orlando used to serve on the tables. With a little tweaking this is IT!! I did not blanch the peppers first, just put them in the containers, and I cut them bigger, about 2 inches square. I then poured the hot mixture over them and let sit for two weeks in the refrigerator. At the end of two weeks I had my deli pepper pickles, and thank you so much!! Carole in Orlando

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Still in West Virginia but we've moved a few miles away, down to the county capitol. It's a compromise: bigger than our last town but smalelr than the "big city" of Cumberland MD, right up the road. Jobs are not that plentiful here so I am fortunate to be able to work at home (I'm a writer). My passion is cooking and feeding people family well....my pet peeve is the family court systems in America......my love is for emergency medicine and the people that make survival in a crisis possible
