Instructions: Pack the bell peppers into a sterilized jar or clean plastic container. Bring the water, vinegar and sugar to a boil. Add the seasonings, including the chili pepper, and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes. Slowly add the warm liquid to the peppers, being sure to cover the peppers with the liquid. Let cool completely; cover and refrigerate.

Peppers are ready to eat the next day, but get better with age and will last at least a month in the refrigerator. Drain and use as many peppers as you need at one time and return the rest to the refrigerator.

Makes 10 cups peppers.
