Hot Stuffed Cherry Peppers
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.

Recipe Notes
The 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.
