Answers:
I have an Amish cookbook at home (I got to be one of the testers - it was fun). Anyway, no luck there. Try this recipe. I do not know if it is what you are looking for.
Amish Cabbage-Filled Peppers
6 bell peppers, red
1/2 cabbage
1/2 ts salt
2 c vinegar
1 tb mustard seed, yellow
Remove stems and cut off the tops of the
peppers and remove the seeds without
breaking the shells. Cut cabbage fine
as in slaw and add to it the salt and
mustard seeds. Mix thoroughly and place
in peppers, pressing it in tightly. Place
tops on pepper cases and fasten them down
with toothpicks. Place them upright in
stone jar and cover with cold vinegar.
Place cover over jar and put away in cool
place until ready to use. They may be kept
for several months before using.
