To Pickle Peppers

Ingredients

• Large bell peppers
• Salt
• Water
• Vinegar
• A little Turmeric

Instructions

1. Gather large bell peppers while quite young. Leave the seeds in and the stem on. Cut a slit in one side between the large veins to allow water to penetrate, being careful not to cut through the veins themselves as heat will instantly diffuse through the pod.
2. Pour boiling salted water over the peppers and change it every day for three weeks. Keep them closely covered throughout this process.
3. After three weeks, check the color. If they have turned a good green, place them in pots and cover them with cold vinegar mixed with a little turmeric. If they are not yet sufficiently green, continue the daily water-changing process until they reach the desired color, then finish as above.
