Probably, Columbus's discovery of America pales in comparison to his discovery of hot spices, which he first brought from there, revolutionizing taste in cooking.
But be careful: such hot red pepper is included in warming ointments like “Finalgona”, and woe to you if, when making preparations from this pepper for the winter, you end up with even the smallest wounds on your hands. Or you might decide to rub your eyes with these hands. Or scratch your nose. An unforgettable experience awaits you inside!
So it’s better to work by protecting your hands, and after work, wash them thoroughly with soap and wipe with vegetable oil - it will remove any remaining stinging particles.
Pickled hot peppers - a recipe for making capsicums for the winter
The set of products is designed for 3 liter jars of pepper. Or 6 half-liters - whichever is more convenient for you.
Use rock salt. Finely ground “Extra” removes all useful microelements; it is naked NaCl, which has zero benefit. In addition, “Extroy” can easily oversalt any product; its salinity is 1.5 times higher than rock salt.
The use of rock salt, but iodized salt, softens the flesh of the peppers and makes it slippery.
If, in addition to horseradish root, leaves are also used, after thoroughly washing them, you should also douse them with additional boiling water. The leaves are placed at the bottom of the jar, under the pepper.
What you will need:
- Hot pepper in an amount sufficient for 1 three-liter jar not to the top (use it as a measure);
- 3 liters of water;
- rock salt, non-iodized, 3 level tablespoons;
- Table vinegar 9% - 3 tablespoons;
- Sugar 3 tablespoons;
- Spices (optional): 6-9 cloves of garlic, cherry and currant leaves, dill with “umbrellas”, sweet peas, cloves, horseradish root (you can also use leaves).
Preparation:
1. Rinse the pods with a “shower” rinse and dry.
2. Wash jars with lids with soda and sterilize. For every two jars, it is better to prepare three lids - in case one gets skewed when sealing.
3. Boil the future marinade with salt and sugar.
4. Place pods and spices in sterilized jars.
In this case, it is better not to grate the horseradish root or grind it in any other way, but simply scrape it with a knife, peeling it and keeping it whole. Place 1 small horseradish root on the jar.
5. Boiling marinade is poured into preheated jars. Hold for 5 minutes. Pour back into the pan, boil again, pour again. Repeat the operation 3-4 times.
6. Add vinegar to the jars, after sealing, turn over several times to distribute the vinegar evenly, wrap in a blanket, and leave for 12 hours.

In this recipe, only part of the stalk and stem is cut off - the seeds remain in the “body” of the pepper. And of all the variety of spices, perhaps the most modest of them is used - bay leaf.
This is a classic recipe without any extraneous flavors, preserving the bitter-hot taste of chili pepper to the maximum extent.
Compound:
- 3-liter slightly incomplete jar (like a measuring stick) of chili peppers, filled to the top

How to salt hot peppers for the winter? Step by step recipe
Salted pepper does not have such a piquant taste as pickled pepper, but it retains its natural aroma as much as possible. For this method of preparation, it is better to take a mixture of peppers of different colors: green, red, white, orange. The hottest ones are usually bright red and orange.
They are added to the pickling composition in a ratio of approximately 1: 1 (except for hot red or orange - they are taken at the rate of 1-2 peppers per jar. Gourmets and simply amateurs can eat salted ready-made peppers from such a preparation “alive” in winter, without diluting them in any way. True, first you need to soak it a little in fresh warm water - because salting is still carried out in a supersaturated salt solution.
If you have stomach problems, then pickles are simply used to season dishes, giving them additional piquancy.
In particular, you cannot do without such pepper when preparing the classic Georgian soup kharcho.
Light green or white Dungan pepper or tsitsak are usually used as mild peppers.
Ingredients:
- 2-3 kilograms of peppers of all types
- water – 3 liters
- 1 raw egg as an indicator of salinity
- Salt until the egg floats
- Sugar – 3 tablespoons
The water for this method of preserving peppers is not boiled - as a last resort, the salt is diluted in water at 38-40⁰C for better solubility of the salt. Sugar is dissolved first. Salt is added to the water until the raw egg stops sinking and floats.
An incision in the pepper or piercing it with a fork is done because the peppers have a very strong and thick skin, through which the cold solution simply will not penetrate.
Preparation:
1. Peppers are cut lengthwise or pierced with a fork.
2. Several cuts or punctures are made in the red pepper.
3. First dilute sugar in a saucepan with warm water, and then begin to dissolve salt, loading it with tablespoons and periodically checking the raw egg for floatability.
When it floats, the salt solution, or brine, is ready.
4. Place the peppers vertically in cleanly washed jars (you don’t need to sterilize them; salt itself acts as a powerful preservative). For every 8-12 white and green peppers - 1-2 bright red ones.
5. Cover with lids and leave for 3-4 hours. During this time, the brine will penetrate through cuts or punctures, and its level in the jars will drop by 1.5-2 cm due to this. Add the missing brine.
6. Then the jars can be tightly rolled up and stored in a cool place.
Hot pickled peppers for the winter - a simple recipe
The difference between this type of pickled hot pepper is the presence of vegetable oil in the recipe. At the same time, there is an interesting taste effect from the time of introducing the oil into the marinade: when adding it to boiling water, without salt, sugar and spices, the taste of the pickled pepper turns out to be harsh, without flavor nuances, and more pungent.

09/13/2018 by tisson
During the winter preparation season, housewives make jams, branded pickles and marinades. But it’s also worth diversifying your supplies with the popular appetizer of peppers, tomatoes, and garlic. Pepper “Spark” for the winter is a delicious dish rich in vitamin C and amino acids. The appetizer increases appetite and goes well with meat, poultry, and smoked meats.
Features of the dish
The snack got its name because of its bright red-orange color and characteristic spicy taste. When cooking, all components are crushed using a meat grinder or blender, so the dish acquires the consistency of a thick puree.
It is convenient to use for sandwiches and canapes; the appetizer is suitable for garnishing meat dishes, adding to pasta, rice, and potatoes.
A little Ogonyok pepper can be added when cooking borscht, kharcho, solyanka or other soup with a spicy taste.
Vegetables and herbs that are well washed under cold running water must be dried with paper towels to avoid moisture, which can contribute to fermentation during storage. There are many recipes for Ogonyok.
An obligatory component of the appetizer is hot red pepper. It is this that gives the snack its characteristic slightly bitter and burning taste.
Both fresh pepper and chili powder will work. Other components may vary. Most often, the recipe includes tomatoes, sweet peppers, onions, garlic, carrots, and herbs. For a brighter taste, it is better to use ripe, unspoiled vegetables. The tomatoes should be fleshy and slightly sweet, without being watery.
Depending on the recipe, after pureeing, the mixture is boiled or immediately packaged in jars. The first option is preferable - boiled vegetables last longer outside the refrigerator. The snack is packaged in sterilized glass jars and sealed with lids. You can store hermetically sealed canned food in a cool, dark place; after opening, place it in the refrigerator.
