Plain white, ad ginger, curry leaves and cinnamon.
My trick is to take the brine, cook it to a rolling boil and reuse it on a new batch of chilies. Add a little fresh brine if needed.

This year will be the 3rd year in the same brine and it knox your sock off.

Time is what makes things amazing.

I like to use rice vinegar for the flavor and color. With the slight brown/yellow tinge you don't need to add turmeric to your recipe for color. And the mellow fermented flavor rocks! It's 4.3% however so you need to pay attention to your acidity and use a little more when doing the half water/half vinegar trick you can do with 5%. Measuring pH is always best. I like this brand.

I have used the Colorado pickled pepper medley for quite a while, with plain ol' distilled white vinegar.
Best of all, it works great as a cold pack!

Making Pickled Peppers at Home - 9.314 - Extension

Pickled peppers and mixed vegetable-pepper home canned products are commonly prepared by many Colorado households. These products also have been implicated in botulism deaths due to the use of untested recipes, under-acidified products, addition of too much oil, or lack of processing.

Boil the brine, let it cool. Pack the peppers and veggies in jars. Pour brine over and refrigerate for 2 weeks to allow the produce to get pickled. Keep refrigerated. Veggies and peppers stay crisper than with a BWB.
