How to Ferment Peppers
Ingredients
- See Note
- sliced peppers, seeded or unseeded (according to your preference)
- sea salt
- water, non-chlorinated – well, spring, or filtered
- garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
Instructions
- To begin, place a crushed garlic clove in each wide mouthed jar.
- Fill the jars with your sliced peppers. You'll want to leave about and inch and a half at the top. Pack the peppers in snugly.
- Combine your salt and water for the brine in a ratio of 1 teaspoon sea salt per cup of water. Stir until the salt is dissolved.
- Pour the brine into the jars until it covers the peppers.
- Place a fermentation weight over the top of the peppers.
- Cover with a fermentation lid and close with lid ring.
- Place the jars in a location out of direct sunlight.
- The peppers will ferment for 2 – 3 weeks. Taste after 2 weeks to see if they are ready. If not, let them go another week. Once they are ready, cover with a standard jar lid and store in the refrigerator.
