Each substitute brings its own texture and acidity, so adjust seasoning to balance sweetness and tang in your recipe.

After opening, it’s generally best to refrigerate jarred or canned peppers.

• Keep submerged: Ensure peppers stay covered in their brine to maintain flavor and texture.
• Use clean utensils: Avoid introducing food particles to the jar or can.
• Transfer if needed: Move leftovers to a clean, airtight container.
• Timing: Check the package for storage guidance and aim to enjoy within a reasonable timeframe, as flavors and texture can change over time.

Storage directions may vary by product, so following the label can help preserve quality.
