I'd like to make pickled peppers and other stuff.  What are the tricks to this?

Just look up recipes for them.
Just look out you don't make something for refrigerator that you thought was for basement shelf storage.

Mrs. Symptoms says: "Boil the water you're going to use in it. You can pickle anything in it: eggs, beets, cucumbers(pickles), cauliflower w/ peppers & stuff, turnips.

If it's hot it'll pickle faster than if it's cold. It'll keep for a couple of weeks if unadulterated by fingers, etc. Always use a clean fork."



Formula is 1/2 cup salt, 1/4 cup vinegar per quart of, say, pickles.

I make pickled jalapenos from the garden every year to use on pizza, grilled cheese, nachos, and Mexican dishes. I cut the jalapenos into disks, boil distilled vinegar (no water), and can. Pretty simple and easy, and they come out great. I've tried making pickles, but have not found a recipe I like more than store bought.

I stumbled across this thread earlier this year and made a bunch of pickles with cucumbers from the garden. I think someone posted a dilly bean recipe in this thread too.

Experimenting is fun-the first batch was way too salty-I'm not sure if I screwed up or if they just needed more time. Second batch I cut the salt in half and liked those better.

These are the best pickles you will eat homemade.  The brine is good for various things.

Use Pickle Crisp. It can go in any recipe you use, and it really makes a noticeable difference in the crunchiness of the pickled item.

If other stuff includes lacto fermented then use enough salt, going low sodium is really tricky and you can always mellow it out when it's done.

Oh, and leave headspace, keep everything under the liquid, and leave it alone and just let it do its thing.
