Instructions
Prep the peppers: Utilize a small paring knife to remove the membranes and seeds before slicing (for a less spicy version). Slice thinly and continue until all peppers are sliced.
Transfer the pepper slices and garlic to a large glass jar (with lid).
Add the vinegar, water, honey and salt to a small saucepan and heat until almost boiling. Make sure to stir to dissolve the honey/sugar.
Remove the vinegar/sugar mixture from the heat and pour over the peppers.
Use a butter knife or chopstick to tap on the bottom of the glass to remove hidden air pockets.
Once the peppers are cooled to room temperature, place the lid on the jar and refrigerate.
Super thin slices can be eaten after 10 minutes while thicker slices will need at least an hour.
