Hot peppers made with a sweet brine!!
 Sweet Pickled Peppers http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/pickled_sweet_peppers.html From EatingWell: July/August 2010
Using sweet brine instead of sour tempers the heat of hot peppers in these sweet pickled peppers.
 Makes 6 pint jars (about 12 cups) | Active Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 25 minutes Ingredients 2 pounds hot peppers, sliced or halved (about 8 cups)
3 cups distilled white vinegar or cider vinegar
 3 cups water
 1 1/2 cups sugar
 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sea salt
 Preparation Place a large bowl of ice water next to the stove. Bring a large pot of water to a boil in a large pot. Add half of the peppers, cover, return to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the peppers to the ice water to cool. Repeat with the remaining peppers. Drain the cooled peppers and divide among 6 pint-size (2-cup) canning jars or similar-size tempered-glass or heatproof-plastic containers with lids. Combine vinegar, 3 cups water, sugar and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar and salt dissolve. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Carefully fill jars (or containers) with brine to within 1/2 inch of the rim, covering the peppers completely. (Discard any leftover brine.) Place the lids on the jars (or containers). Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.
