What to do with a Hungarian Hot Wax Pepper


As promised at the Farmer's Market, here is the recipe displayed with our Hungarian Hot Wax Peppers.  It was passed on to our brother from a family friend, and the tradition continues!

1. Wash and cut out the insides of the peppers.  (the more seeds that are left with the peppers the hotter they will be.)  Slice to make uniform rings.

2. Soak peppers in the following solution for 12-24 hours:

1 quart vinegar
3 quarts water
1 cup salt

3. Pack tightly into jars and add garlic if desired.  Pour in corn oil until jars are full and peppers are completely covered. It is very important that corn oil is used and no other oil!

4. Store in refrigerator and use on sandwiches, in salads, or any recipe calling for hot peppers.

  1. Hey, Anna and Vince -

    We cut these up and threw them in with a bunch of veggies and they were great. Not too hot, and a nice flavor. I did take the seeds out ...

  2. Yum! If only I could remember the official description you found...spicy, not hot? Something like that! Glad you enjoyed them!
