Cut peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds.
Cut the pepper halves into long strips, approximately 1/2 inch wide.
Pack the pepper strips tightly into sterilized jars, leaving about 1 inch of headspace at the top.
In a separate pot, combine the white vinegar, granulated sugar, and pickling salt.
Stir the mixture until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
Bring the brine to a boil over medium-high heat.
Pour boiling water over the peppers in the jars to remove air bubbles.
Let the jars stand for 5 minutes, then drain the water.
Fill the jars with the boiling brine, ensuring the liquid covers the peppers and leaves about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.
Seal the jars tightly with sterilized lids and rings.
