In reply to Shan. I wouldn’t recommend water-bathing these, since oil-packed vegetables can be risky to can safely at home. It’s best to keep them in the fridge and enjoy within a few weeks. They stay delicious and you won’t have to worry about safety. :)

Can I waterbath these to seal for longer storage?

Can’t get enough of these eggplant! I live alone so 2 jars will definitely last me for long, still the first one I opened is about 1/2 lol

Made a batch last week and wanted to wait until they were ready. So I eat them today with crusty bread and they were AMAZING! we couldn’t stop eating them so we practically finish the jar lol (I made 2 jars only). Thanks for the recipe.

I love eggplants, but I have only two recipes for them that I keep coming back to. This sounds delicious, though, and a fantastic addition to my two so will definitely be trying it.

I love your photos, by the way. So stunning and with great composition.

Hi Wendy, yes, you can make the exact recipe using any type of peppers, or other vegetables like zucchini.

Or you can make them only with vinegar, here’s the link how: https://maricruzavaloskitchen.com/italian-pickled-peppers/

In reply to Rakib Eahsan.

I’m anxious to try this recipe once fresh eggplant are available.
I was wondering if you’ve used this same recipe for sweet peppers? I had them once that an Italian woman made but could never find out how she did it. They were so delicious. Tasted like an oil and vinegar base.
Thank you for sharing!
