Ingredients

• 4 large Red bell peppers
• 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Erythritol
• 1 tablespoon Sea salt
• 3 whole Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 whole Bay leaves

Directions

Step 1

Wash the red bell peppers thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut the peppers into quarters, remove the stem, seeds, and ribs, then slice them into thin strips.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, erythritol, and sea salt. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the erythritol and salt dissolve completely, creating a brine.

Step 3

Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves to release their flavor without losing their shape.

Step 4

In a sterilized glass jar (preferably a quart-sized Mason jar), add the red pepper strips, crushed garlic cloves, black peppercorns, dried oregano, and bay leaves.

Step 5

Pour the hot brine over the peppers in the jar, making sure the liquid covers the peppers completely. Use a spoon to press down the peppers if needed.

Step 6

Seal the jar tightly with a lid and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the jar for at least 24 hours to allow flavors to develop.

Step 7

Serve the pickled red peppers chilled as a side dish or use them to enhance your favorite recipes. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
