This or Chili Peppers


This or Chili Peppers, our not so secret recipe for sweet pickled Thai chili peppers which are available on our site.

This would fill an average Kerr pickling jar.
1/2 bulb of garlic
4 sprigs of dill
3/4 cup of scallions
Thai chili peppers
1 tbs salt/peper
4 tbs sugar
white vinegar

First peel and smash your garlic, it doesnt matter if it is a little old, i find this is a great way to get rid of that older more pungent garlic.

Cut each sprig of dill into three or four pieces, you dont want them to be too small as they arent meant to be eaten. The dill ads a nice classic pickle bite to this traditional Thai condiment.

Cut the more leafy parts of the scallions at the top off. The whiter more robust parts towards the bottom hold up best during the pickling process where as the greener parts breakdown and loose their shape.
Halve your peppers discarding the extra seeds then add the sugar, salt and pepper.
Finally fill the jar covering the peppers with white vinegar.
