Pickled peppers are [ingredient=chili-pepper chili peppers] that have been pickled, or preserves in a salt and vinegar brine. Pickling the peppers reduces their heat somewhat, softens them, and adds a complex sweet-tart flavor.
Pickled peppers are typically used as a cocktail garnish, especially in the Bloody Mary. Hungarian, wax, bell, cherry, or jalapeño peppers are commonly candidates for pickling.
