Ingredients

  • 2 cups unseasoned rice vinegar
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 4 whole Hungarian wax peppers
  • 6 whole Italian frying peppers
  • 4 whole jalapeños
  • sliced into rings

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Whisk vinegar, sugar, salt, and 1 1/2 cups water in a large glass jar until sugar dissolves. Prick Hungarian wax peppers and Italian frying peppers all over with a cake tester or the point of a sharp paring knife (this helps the brine penetrate the chiles faster). Add both peppers and jalapeños to jar and chill at least 12 hours before using.
