Pierce peppers with a fork. Combine peppers, vinegar, thyme, and garlic in a glass jar; let stand 2 to 3 days. Strain seasoned vinegar before serving.

NOTES : The tradition in most African-American families is to eat slow-cooked leafy greens that are stewed down with a piece of smoked pork, creating the proverbial "low gravy." Here the classic dish is updated with less familiar Swiss chard, which is lightly steamed and served with a homemade hot vinegar. You can store the leftover seasoned vinegar at room temperature in a glass jar. Recipe by: Cooking Light, Jul/Aug 1995, page 112 Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #409 by igor@digex.net on Jan 28, 1997.
