Ingredients

  • 6-7 banana peppers or as many as you can fit
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon pickling salt
  • 1 clove garlic smashed (or more as desired)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns

Instructions

  • Slice the banana peppers into ¼ inch rings and discard the stems. If you’d like, you can core out the banana peppers first. I usually do not. Stuff them into cleaned/sterilized 1-pint jars or a larger quart jar.
  • Add the vinegar, water, salt, garlic, honey, oregano, basil and peppercorns to a large pan or pot.
  • Bring the mixture to a quick boil, the remove from heat.
  • Cool slightly, then pour the brine into the jars over the sliced banana peppers. Screw on the cap.
  • Refrigerate for 24 hours before using to develop the flavors, though they can be eaten right away.

Notes

Makes 4 cups.
Pickled banana peppers will keep at least a month or longer in the refrigerator. If you’d like to preserve them for longer, discard the garlic and process the jar through a water bath for 15 minutes (20 minutes above 6,000 feet elevation).
