Pickled pepper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pickled pepper is a pepper that has been preserved by the process of pickling. For peppers, the pickling process usually involves submersion in a brine of vinegar and salt water with herbs and spices, including peppercorns, coriander, dill, and bay leaf.
Common pickled peppers are the banana pepper, and the Jalapeño, the latter of which is either a topping or a common ingredient in several foods, and both of which are often found in supermarkets alongside pickled cucumbers, and is a common ingredient used by sandwich shops such as Quiznos, Subway, and Wawa.
[edit] Trivia
The nursery rhyme "Peter Piper" includes the line, "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers".
