Directions:
Directions:
Cut peppers 1/4 inch thick.

After peppers are cut place in a six gallon bucket. (I use a wine juice bucket) Sprinkle with 4 to 6 tbsp. of salt and add 2 cups of water for every cup of vinegar until the liquid is to the top of the bucket. Cover with lid and let sit 3-4 hours.

Drain all liquid from peppers and let sit 3-4 hours in colanders weighed on top so they drain. (I put a cutting board on top and put the gallons of canola oil on top Best to do this outside.

Once the peppers are drained, mix them in a food safe container with some oil and seasoning mix.

Place peppers in jars with 1-2 tbsp. of garlic and one tsp. of salt (add more seasoning then add oil) Tap the peppers down into the jar with a knife and as they settle add more oil until the it reaches the top of the jar .Seal and place in refrigerator. Let sit for approx. a week so before you eat them.
