Instructions: 1. Heat the water, vinegar, and salt to boiling in medium saucepan.

Reduce
heat and simmer covered until salt is completely dissolved, about 3 minutes.

2. Rinse peppers well. Cut in half through stems; remove stems, seeds, and white pith. Cut each half lengthwise into thirds. Lightly press garlic
with flat of knife and peel. Pack peppers, garlic, celery, and herb sprig
into hot clean 1 quart canning jar.

3. Fill jar with hot vinegar mixture. Slip thin rubber spatula down sides
of jar to release air bubbles. Add more vinegar mixture if needed.

Seal
jar with new canning lid. Store in cool dark place or in refrigerator at
least 1 week before serving. Flavor improves with longer storage.

(Note: table salt can be used, but it may make brine cloudy)
