PETER PIPER'S PICKLED PEPPERS
Well, it may not be "THE" Peter Piper's recipe for those famous Pickled Peppers, but if it's not, he'd better consider adopting this one instead. Make up a couple jars and keep in the fridge for the crispest peppers. For longer storage, you can process in a boiling water bath. Absolutely WONDERFUL on a roast beef sandwich (hot or cold) or with steak or burgers.
