pickeled stuffed cherry hot peppers
One day, my hubby and I were at one of our local grocery stores, which has a lot of nice things on their salad bar. I saw these and tried them, and wow, they were amazing but so expensive. So I took one home and took it apart, and this is what I came up with. We grew cherry hot peppers this year, so that even made them cheaper!

- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves fresh garlic (large), peeled and smashed

How To Make pickeled stuffed cherry hot peppers
-
Step 1Combine the oil, garlic, vinegars, oregano, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to just a simmer and simmer for 2 minutes, and turn off the heat. This will help the flavors marry. Set aside to cool.
-
Step 2In the meantime, take a small knife, cut the top off as you would a pumpkin. Remove the seeds by either using your knife or a small measuring spoon.
-
Step 3Now, cut a cube of provolone and a piece of the prosciutto to the size of your hot cherry pepper. This will most likely change for each pepper depending on its size and shape.
-
Step 4Wrap the prosciutto around your cubed cheese and place it inside the cherry pepper. Continue with all the remaining peppers.
-
Step 5Place your stuffed peppers in a container that has a secured lid. Pour the cooled vinegar and oil mixture over your peppers. If you do not have enough liquid, you can always add additional olive oil. My peppers were a little small, so I didn't have to add any liquid.
-
Step 6Put the lid on and gently tip your container upside down af few times. Place in the fridge for at least 24 hours, the longer the better, as the flavors will improve!
