For years I have been looking for a recipe for bell peppers like the Jewish Deli here in Orlando used to serve on the tables. With a little tweaking this is IT!! I did not blanch the peppers first, just put them in the containers, and I cut them bigger, about 2 inches square. I then poured the hot mixture over them and let sit for two weeks in the refrigerator. At the end of two weeks I had my deli pepper pickles, and thank you so much!! Carole in Orlando

Still in West Virginia but we've moved a few miles away, down to the county capitol. It's a compromise: bigger than our last town but smalelr than the "big city" of Cumberland MD, right up the road. Jobs are not that plentiful here so I am fortunate to be able to work at home (I'm a writer). My passion is cooking and feeding people family well....my pet peeve is the family court systems in America......my love is for emergency medicine and the people that make survival in a crisis possible
