These are so yummy on cheese and crackers and it gets rave reviews from friends. I made the next batch using less sugar and added some dill. I skipped the water bath by putting the peppers, garlic and salt into the sterilized jars then pouring in the boiling brine, sealed the jars and refrigerator them once they were cool.
