Homemade Vinegar Peppers

Thanks to GMG FOB and friend Brian O’Connor this recipe was created!  Brian delivered a bag of fresh sweet and mildly hot peppers from his garden a few weeks ago. After doing some research,  I was able to developed a no fuss recipe that is easy to prepare just in time for the holidays. Jars of homemade Vinegar Peppers make great hostess gifts during this time of year. Thank you for the peppers Brian, my family  and friends we will be enjoying them this moth!
