1. Heat the water, vinegar, and salt to boiling in
medium saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer covered until
salt is completely dissolved, about 3 minutes.

2. Rinse peppers well. Cut in half through stems;
remove stems, seeds, and white pith. Cut each half
lengthwise into thirds. Lightly press garlic with flat
of knife and peel. Pack peppers, garlic, celery, and
herb sprig into hot clean 1 quart canning jar.

3. Fill jar with hot vinegar mixture. Slip thin
rubber spatula down sides of jar to release air
bubbles. Add more vinegar mixture if needed. Seal jar
with new canning lid. Store in cool dark place or in
refrigerator at least 1 week before serving. Flavor
improves with longer storage.

(Note: table salt can be used, but it may make brine
cloudy)
