Marinated pepper
Description
The ingredient amounts are calculated for a 250 ml container. As the small peppers are extremely hot and bitter, handle them carefully — it's best to wear rubber gloves. They are marinated in vinegar with sugar so that when tasting you experience the full range of flavors: bitter, sour, and sweet-salty. Remember that bitterness should be chased not with water but with cold milk, kefir, or any other dairy drink. Store in a cool, dark place.

Screw the lid onto the jar and shake everything thoroughly until the sugar dissolves. Place the container in the refrigerator and leave it for 2–3 days.
