Quick Pickled Cubanelle Peppers Recipe

I love pickled peppers, so when I saw a great deal on Cubanelle peppers, I grabbed a  few to pickle. These peppers are sweet rather than spicy, and are easier on the stomach, in my opinion.  Quick pickled Cubanelle peppers are extremely easy to make, and go great cooked with pork or chicken, and go well on pizza and sandwiches, as well.

The pickled peppers are  made in a strong brine, so that they will be ready fast (in just a couple hours) and maintain their crispness.  Most of this batch ended out going into a chicken recipe that evening & the rest on top of a pizza two days later.
