- 4 medium bell peppers (any color)
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 clove garlic, sliced
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
- Wash the bell peppers thoroughly under running water.
- Place the peppers on a cutting board and use a knife to carefully slice off the tops. Remove the seeds and cut the peppers into thin strips.
