Ingredients
1 jar of chillies
250g water
250g white vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
Optional: 1 teaspoon peppercorns, 2 bay leaves, 1-2 garlic cloves
Method
Fill a jar with washed chillies and any optional ingredients.
Heat and stir the water, vinegar, salt and sugar until the salt and sugar dissolve. Do not bring the water to the boil.
Once dissolved, pour the warm mixture into the jar such that it covers all chillies. Seal.
Leave for around 2 weeks. If the brine level falls below the chillies, top up with more brine.
