Peppers For Winter Use

Peppers For Winter Use image

Remove the seeds and wash thoroughly. Attach the lids to
the peppers to which they belong by taking a stitch to join them
and tying the thread and cutting. Make a brine that will bear up
an egg. Put the peppers in this, weighting them down so they
will be well covered with the brine. They will keep indefinitely
and are almost as good for stuffing as the fresh ones. Before
using them take what you wish from the brine and soak in water
for an hour.
