These peppers are inspired by my grandmother’s (Mama Dessie) recipe. I don’t think I have them right but I really like them. They are wonderfully sour with a little heat.
Ingredients:
3 lbs Hungarian wax peppers (hot or mild)
2 cups sauerkraut
1 cup white sugar
8 x 1/2 teaspoon salt
8 x 1/2 teaspoon oil
8 x 1 tsp pickling spice
8 “dashes” of turmeric
Directions:
Wash, cut tops off and core peppers
Stuff peppers with sauerkraut as tightly as possible
Stuff peppers into sterilized pint jars
Heat sugar and vinegar to boiling
Place jars in hot water and pour boiling water over peppers. Let stand for 3 minutes then carefully drain water
Add salt, oil, spice and turmeric to each jar
Pour sugar and vinegar mixture over peppers
Seal jars (11 minute boil) and let cool
Let stand for at least a week
How much vinegar is required?
