Ingredients

  • 1 large glass jar with a screw on lid.
  • 2 pounds tri-color peppers, red, orange, yellow and green

How To Make sweet pickled peppers

  • Step 1
    Ina a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. While oil is heating, cut the peppers in chunks 1 inch by 1 inch. Add the peppers to the skillet and sprinkle with the kosher salt.
  • Step 2
    Stir often, about 15 to 20 minutes until the peppers are soft. Remove the peppers from the pan, stir in the garlic and cook for one minute.
  • Step 3
    Add half the peppers to a large glass jar that has a lid, add 2 sprigs of oregano and half the garlic. Repeat with the remaining peppers, garlic and oregano.
  • Step 4
    Make sure that all of the ingredients are submerged in the jar. Screw the lid on the jar and shake the jar for a minute or two. Let it stand in a cool place for 24 hours. After 24 hours put the jar in the fridge. After three days the peppers are ready to eat. These peppers will last a month in the fridge.
