I Have The Answer!
I know where Peter Piper’s pickled peppers are! They are in my kitchen. At least, about a third of them are.
I had some peppers in my refrigerator that were not going to be used up before they shrivelled up, so I decided to pickle them. I had pickled some peppers a couple of months previously and was quite pleased with the result, so I decided to use the same recipe again.
I used to do quite a lot of canning when my children were still children, and I have kept the canning bath, the jar grabber, and some jars and lids. So, I was ready!
After the process was complete and the hot jars were cooling on my kitchen counter, I was reminded of the old tongue-twister about Peter Piper that was first published in John Harris’s Peter Piper’s Practical Principles of Plain and Perfect Pronunciation in 1813:
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked;
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?So, that got me wondering, how much is a peck?
When I Googled it, I was told that a peck is 9.3 quarts, which is equivalent to 8801 millilitres. I had five 500-millilitre jars for a total of 2500 millilitres. That, I decided, was near-as-dammit a third of a peck.
So, there you have it. About a third of Peter Piper’s pickled peppers are on my kitchen counter. They are accompanied by some pickled carrots because I had excess brine.
Now to find out why putting things in jars is called canning.

They are particularly valuable in the education of the youth by adults on the use of language, that is how to apply them during a conversation.
