Wash and trim your garlic scapes. Chop if desired.
Add the garlic scapes to the jar, packing them tightly. Add chili, peppercorns, salt, and sugar.
Pour in the vinegar, followed by the warm water until the garlic scapes are submerged. Close the lid and let the contents pickle for at least 24 hours.
Transfer to the fridge. Enjoy when you want to enhance a burger, sandwish, soup, stew, or salad.
