12 servings
2 hours, 30 minutes total (Active 15 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • 1 medium sweet onion
  • 2 large green onions
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 limes, for juice
  • 4 Scotch bonnet (or red habanero) peppers
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 12 whole black peppercorns
  • 4 whole cloves
  • 1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups shredded coleslaw mix
  • 1 cup matchstick carrots

Steps

    1. Slice bell pepper and all onions thinly; chop garlic finely. Juice limes (2 tablespoons). Slice Scotch bonnet peppers thinly, discarding membranes and seeds if desired.
    2. Combine in medium saucepan: Scotch bonnet peppers, garlic, salt, peppercorns, cloves, lime juice, and vinegar until blended; bring pickling liquid to a simmer on medium.
    3. Place onions, bell peppers, coleslaw mix, and carrots in large bowl. Pour pickling liquid over vegetables (if vegetables aren't submerged in liquid, use plate or bowl to weigh them down). Let stand 30 minutes to cool, then cover and chill 1 hour (or overnight) before serving.
    Note: Use caution when handling spicy peppers; gloves are recommended.
