pickled peppers
Add the peppers into the prepared jars using kitchen thongs. Be careful, as the jars are still hot. Cover with the hot liquid (from where we cooked the peppers). Seal tightly and wrap the jars in a wet kitchen towel. Place on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 15 minutes at 80 °C / 175 °F. Turn the oven off and leave the peppers to cool slowly. Keep them in a dark, cold pantry for up to a year.
