Instructions

Using a sharp knife, slice the chillies into thin rings - somewhere between 1 and 3 mm. Whether or not you want to remove the seeds and membranes first is up to you, but they will make the pickled chilli slices hotter.
250 g chillies
Place the slices in a clean sterilised jar along with a bay leaf.
1 bay leaf
Pour the vinegar and water into a small saucepan. Add the sugar, salt and seeds. Bring slowly to the boil, giving an occasional swirl to dissolve the sugar.
200 ml apple cider vinegar, 125 ml water, 60 g sugar, ½ tsp sea salt, 1 tsp coriander seeds, ½ tsp fennel seeds
As soon as the liquid is properly boiling, pour it over the chilli slices. Ensure the chillies are fully covered so that air can't get to them. Top the jar up further if necessary.
Seal, then allow to cool before storing.

Notes

The redder the chilli, the hotter it will be.

Makes enough to fill a 500ml (pint) jar or two 250 ml (half pint) jars.

They'll keep for at least a month if stored in a cool place, three months if stored in the fridge. Once opened, keep in the fridge and eat within two to three weeks.
