Features of preparing hot peppers with honey and vinegar for the winter

The quality of the workpiece depends on the cooking features that need to be taken into account. One of them is the choice of the main component. When purchasing hot peppers, consider the following points:

  1. For preservation, as opposed to eating raw, only fully ripened fruits are suitable.
  2. Pay attention to the appearance. Vegetables should be firm, bright, without surface damage or wrinkles.
  3. Hot peppers come not only red, but also green, yellow, and orange. So you can purchase different colors.
  4. In terms of size, give preference to medium-sized fruits. They are convenient to put in jars. Large specimens cannot be marinated entirely: you will have to cut them.

How to prepare peppers

Another important point is preparing vegetables for pickling. It includes the following steps:

  1. Sort through the fruits, discard those that have rot and other damage on the surface. If in doubt about the suitability of a vegetable, cut it open and look at the insides.
  2. Soak vegetables in cold water for 5-8 minutes. Then rinse each specimen separately under running water. Dry naturally or with a cotton towel.
  3. If you pickle the pods whole, then the preparation stage is complete. If in pieces, then remove the stalk from the vegetables and cut into the desired shapes and sizes.

Which honey is better to choose for pickling hot peppers?

Any type of honey is suitable for pickling peppers. The main thing is that it is natural. Its quality can be checked in the following ways:

  1. Smell and taste. The absence of odor indicates that the honey was not obtained naturally. And the presence of a caramel taste indicates that it was subjected to high temperature treatments.
  2. Sugariness is not an indicator of low-quality honey. In a liquid state, it remains only for a month after collection. If in winter you are offered a liquid version of this product, this means that it has been thermally treated.
  3. If there is foaminess on it, this means that the honey contains more than 20% water.

If honey is heated to 40 degrees or higher, then most of its beneficial properties disappear. The result is a simple sweet syrup.

What is the best vinegar to use?

The following types of acid can be used for preparation:

  • table vinegar 9%, 6% and 3%;
  • essence;
  • Apple vinegar;
  • wine;
  • grape;
  • balsamic

Any of these options is suitable for pickling hot peppers. You should focus only on personal tastes and preferences. For example, preparations with essence or table vinegar turn out classically sour. Adding apple, wine or grape juice adds fruity notes to the fruit. And balsamic adds a special spice.


Each type of vinegar has its own taste characteristics

Not only the type of vinegar is important, but also the method of preparation; hot peppers marinated in vinegar in a cold way have their own specific taste. Find out how it happens.
