I know peppers arn't really in season at the moment but if anyone should accidently buy too many at the supermarket here is a great recipie which I adapted slightly from 'Preserved' by Nick Sandler and Johnny Acton (V good book by the way).
6 Peppers cut in half, smeared in olive oil and placed cut side down on a baking tray, Roasted in a hot oven until starting charr, Cooled in a plastic bag to make peeling them easy (hint, peel them in the plastic bag to catch the juices). Sliced into what ever size you want.
Approx 250ml of Vinegar (I used Sarsons ready spiced pickling vinegar coz its the only thing I can get on the island),
Handfull of dried red Chillies, deseeded
Any juices from the peppers plus water to make up approx 200ml
180g White Sugar
Heat the vinegar, sugar and chillie peppers in a pan, add the juices (and water if needed)
Scoop out the chillies and put them between layers of pepper, when the jar is full pour the spicy vinegar over the peppers and seal. Stores for up to a year.
These peppers are really, really yummy and have a nice bite coz of the chillies. In the recipie I used a 'handfull' because the heat of chillies and peoples tastes vary, just use the amount you think would suit you.
Enjoy
