Pickled ranetki with sweet pepper
10 servings
60 minutes
If you like pickled peppers and soaked apples, then this combination is designed for a wow effect. The apples are firm and crispy, like from a barrel, and the peppers are elastic and not at all boiled. You can add all the usual home flavors to the marinade : dill umbrellas, horseradish or currant leaves - they will definitely not spoil the result.
1
Wash the apples and dry them. Cut the stems halfway.
2
Use a toothpick to poke the skin of the apples in several places.

Remove the seeds and stem from the pepper, and cut the pepper into wide wedges.

Dip half of the pepper in boiling marinade for 1-2 minutes. If left too long, it will become soft.
