Jar of Easy Pickled Banana Peppers

This easy pickled banana peppers recipe is quick, simple, and yields fantastic results. Perfect for adding a tangy kick to your meals!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound banana peppers, sliced into rings
  • 2 cups white vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, minced garlic, black peppercorns, and celery seeds. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar and salt are dissolved.
  2. Add the sliced banana peppers to the boiling mixture. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pickled banana peppers to sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
  5. Pour the hot pickling liquid over the banana peppers in the jars, ensuring they are fully submerged. Leave 1/2 inch headspace.
  6. Seal the jars with sterilized lids and rings. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper preservation.
  7. Let the jars cool completely before storing. The pickled banana peppers will taste best after sitting for at least 2 weeks to allow the flavors to fully develop.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the pickling liquid. Ensure all equipment and jars are properly sterilized for safe preservation.
