Ingredients

500 gram long chillies

250 gram water

250 millilitre white vinegar

1 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon salt

1 teaspoon coriander seeds

1 teaspoon peppercorns

2 bay leaves

Method

1.Wash whole chillies and pierce them 4 or 5 times with a pin.

2.Heat water, vinegar, sugar, salt, coriander seeds, peppercorns and bay leaves until sugar and salt dissolve. The vinegar should not be allowed to boil.

3.Pack chillies tightly in jars, pour hot vinegar mixture over chillies; seal.

4.After a week check liquid levels in the jar. You may need to top up with some more vinegar mixture. This will ensure no air gets to the chillies, thus causing them to oxidise and turn bad.
