This is a way of preserving the harvest of cherry peppers. They are first soaked in a brine of 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts cold water in a large glass or ceramic vessel for 3 weeks refrigerated. They are then cored and stuffed with a mixture of ground prosciutto and provolone, placed in clean canning jars, covered with vegetable oil. They do not need to be refrigerated. Perfect for antipasto. Similar RecipesIngredientsFor 1 Batch(es) For the Peppers:

Recipe NotesThe vinegar solution is an over estimate. As long as it is a 1 to 4 ratio I always make more than I need. I run the canning jars through the dishwasher and set on heated dry before putting the peppers in.

Our research found that pre-baking the peppers for 30 minutes makes them perfectly tender! Once you stuff them, you'll need 20 minutes in the hot even to get the cheese nice and melty.
How long do stuffed cherry peppers last in fridge?These stuffed cherry peppers are good for an year round appetizer, just like my famous Easy Marinated Mushrooms. You can make them in advance and store in the fridge for up to one week.
Should you cover stuffed peppers when baking?Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the peppers are soft and the cheese is melted and lightly browned, another 15 to 20 minutes.
Why are my stuffed peppers soggy?Don't overbake your peppers. They will get mushy and soggy if cooked too long. Also, avoid adding extra liquids to the filling before baking to keep the stuffed peppers from getting soggy. Make Sure the Peppers are Fork Tender.
