Pickled Anaheim peppers with a kick.

[Steve H]

My friend Robert tx smoker supplied me with some Anaheim and serrano peppers. And I knew these were going to be either stuffed, roasted, or pickled. Pickle won out!
The brine was 50/50 water and white vinegar brought to a boil.
In a gallon mason jar:
1 tsp pickle crisp
2 tbs dried minced onion
2 tbs minced garlic
1 tbs dried dill
1 tsp dill seed.
Packed with Anaheims and 6 or so serranos.
Pour in the brine to 1/2" from top with the hot brine. And vacuum seal if you have the attachment.

WOW STEVE!! Those are gonna be fantastic I bet. You now have me thinking I may need to make another run to the store and get more of the Anaheims. I've done a lot of them stuffed and grilled but never pickled. I know that under vacuum they will be ready pretty quick. Please keep us posted on how they turn out. You have my curiosity piqued for sure.

Haven't done Habs pickled. Interesting. Wonder how much heat they retain.

Enough that I wouldn't eat one straight-up!

Yum! I bet those will be good in some antipasto!

You know? I bet it would be. Wish I had some salami and artichokes. I have everything else to make some.

You have few. Give it a shot and see what happens. Any heat that the peppers might lose would remain in the brine so I doubt you'd really lose any but I bet the flavor of the peppers would really intensify.

Hmmmm....

I guess I do! I'm out of vinegar though. I'll pickle some tomorrow. I bet the brine from it would be pretty good as well.

Oh heck yes!! Add a little of the brine into your spicy vinegar...oh baby!!

LOL! It should produce a burn all right!

 

[Brokenhandle]

Looks good Steve! I'm betting they would burn, twice...on entry and exit!

I'm thinking they'll hurt alright! I have never ate a hab by itself. Might be an experience that'll be burned into memory. As you said, twice!

Dang'it Steve, those look good!
Would love to help ya taste test those, guess I'll have to make my own.

And moment of truth.

The Anaheim peppers took on the heat quite like a seeded pickled jalapeno. Still firm and crunchy. Like!
Now, lets talk about those serrano peppers. Since I liked the Anaheim so much. I just took a whole serrano. And popped it in my mouth thinking it'll be milder due to the brine. Um, that's big NO!!!

They sound just right Steve!
Crunchy, spicy and delicious.
