This recipe is outstanding! I made it for Christmas Eve and my family LOVED it. I had to run out to get more peppers so I could make more for Christmas where it was a hit at my in-laws house. EVERYONE asked for the recipe. Two variations I made - I didn't use green papers; used red, yellow, and orange and I also added a little bit of white balsamic vinegar - both variations made it a little sweeter. DELICIOUS!
