Recipe for pickled peppers

Got 2 that I'm going to try.

1st one:
2 lbs. peppers
6 cloves garlic cut in half
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups vinegar
4 tsp. Salt

Slice peppers into rings and pack in jars with garlic pieces. Bring water, vinegar, and salt to a boil and pour over peppers. Seal jars and let stand for 24 hours.

I think you'll get good results with this.

For what it's worth I don't use as much vinegar in my brine. I do 2 parts water to 1 part vinegar. I also use almost three times as much salt as in your recipe. But for me it can never be salty enough. You might want to throw in a half tablespoon of mustard seed as well in each jar before packing.

I'm not an expert but isn't the 1:1 ratio for vinegar and water pretty standard? I recall something about staying tight to that for health reasons(bacteria?), but its been quite some time and I don't pickle much.
