 1.  Heat the water, vinegar, and salt to boiling in
 medium saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer covered until
 salt is completely dissolved, about 3 minutes.

 2.  Rinse peppers well.  Cut in half through stems;
 remove stems, seeds, and white pith.  Cut each half
 lengthwise into thirds. Lightly press garlic with flat
 of knife and peel.  Pack peppers, garlic, celery, and
 herb sprig into hot clean 1 quart canning jar.

 3.  Fill jar with hot vinegar mixture.  Slip thin
 rubber spatula down sides of jar to release air
 bubbles.  Add more vinegar mixture if needed. Seal jar
 with new canning lid.  Store in cool dark place or in
 refrigerator at least 1 week before serving.  Flavor
 improves with longer storage.

 (Note:  table salt can be used, but it may make brine
 cloudy)
