Perfect Pickled Peppers
On top of burgers, warmed and sitting on top of that juicy steak, as a side to your favorite meal, a spicy addition to any salad as well as topping off a bowl of chili, pickled peppers are as versatile in its presentation as it is in making them. If you want a little kick in the pants, add some extra jalapenos, cherry or hotter peppers to the mix.
