Ingredients:
- 1 kg Bulgarian peppers
- 1 large celery
- 0.5 l of 9-degree vinegar
- 1 l of water
- 3 tablespoons of coarse non-iodized salt
- 4 tablespoons of honey
- a few peppercorns

Step 1: Preparing the ingredients
Start by washing the Bulgarian peppers well under cold running water. Choose quality peppers with vibrant color, without spots or signs of damage, to achieve a delicious dish. Cut the peppers into slices about 1 cm thick.

Step 2: Preparing the celery
For the celery, use both the leaves and the stalks. Chop the leaves finely and cut the stalks into 3-4 cm slices. You can also use a few slices from the white part of the celery for added flavor and texture.

Step 3: Preparing the brine
In a large pot, add the water, vinegar, coarse salt, and honey. Mix the ingredients well until the salt and honey are completely dissolved. Add a few peppercorns for extra flavor. Bring the mixture to a boil, then let it simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.

Step 4: Assembling the vegetables
In a sterilized jar, place a layer of pepper slices followed by a layer of celery. Repeat the process until the jar is full, leaving a little space at the top to avoid overflow.

Step 5: Pouring the brine
After the brine has cooled slightly, carefully pour it over the vegetables, ensuring they are completely covered. Close the jar tightly with a lid.

Step 6: Fermentation
Let the jar ferment at room temperature for 24 hours. After this time, you can store the jar in the refrigerator. These vegetables are excellent after a few days, but their flavor will intensify over time.

Serving suggestions and variations
Bulgarian peppers with celery in vinegar are great as a side dish for meat dishes, but also in sandwiches or salads. You can add other spices, such as bay leaves or sliced garlic, to enhance the flavors.
