📝 Preparation Steps
1
Pickle the chiles
2
Wash two 16-ounce (480 ml) wide-mouth Mason jars with lids well with hot, soapy water. Add the chiles, packing them in tightly, but leave enough room at the top of the jars to close them with ease once the liquid is poured in. In a saucepan, bring ½ cup (120 ml) water and the vinegar to a boil. Add the kosher salt and the sugar and simmer until the salt and sugar dissolve. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want it a bit sweeter or perhaps saltier; the journey to a perfect pickle brine is yours. Pour the hot brine over the chiles and seal the jars tightly. Allow the jars to come to room temperature then store in the refrigerator.
