Pickled Red Chiilies

I love pickled chillies, I believe I was in fact addicted to them and would have them on almost every meal. I managed to wean myself off whilst I was pregnant with Jack as they led to horrendous heartburn and haven't eaten as many since. I used to make a jar of these every couple of weeks as they are so much better than the supermarket bought ones, and they are very easy and would make a quick and easy gift for a chilli lover.


You will need :


Fresh Red chillies - I used 4 packs in a 350ml jar
Granulated Sugar
Distilled vinegar - I use Sarsons Pickling vinegar

• Slice the chillies, discarding the stalks - careful not to rub your eyes!
• Fill the jar one third full with chillies and add a tablespoon of sugar, repeat until the jar is filled.

• Bring the vinegar to the boil and pour over the chillies
• Put the lid on and give it all a little shake to dissolve the sugar
• Store in a cool place and they will be ready to eat within a few days
