This might be a tough one, but am so hoping you can help me. Lum's (when it existed) 
had pickled bell peppers on their condiment bar,they were sort of sweet and so good. 
Thank you in advance for your efforts.

Hello Carol,

No luck with anything like that connected with Lum's. They were likely a commercial product that Lum's bought.

There are instructions for pickling bell peppers here, and two recipes below:

Pepperoni Beef Sticks

Pepperoni Beef Sticks 

2 lbs beef chuck (70% lean) 
1 T Tender Quick 
1/2 t crushed red pepper 
1 t crushed fennel seed 
1/2 t garlic powder 
1/2 t crushed anise seed* 
1 t black pepper 
1/4 c cold water or red wine

Set up your grinder with a coarse cutter and stuffing horn for 1-1/4 inch natural 
or collagen casings. Tip: meat that is all most frozen will grind better and make 
a sausage with more texture. Mix meat cubes again then grind and stuff.*

Make sure to feed lean and fat meat into the grinder evenly. Place sausages on a 
baking rack and cook slow in a 200 degree oven for 2 hours or until then internal 
temperature of the sausage reaches 160 degrees. Remove from oven and immediately 
wrap each link tightly in foil. This will enhance the flavor. Allow to cool then 
refrigerate for 2 days.

Use cooked sausage within one week or freeze for up to three months.
---------------------------------
Pepperoni Sticks   

5 lbs. ground beef
5 tsp. tender quick
5 tsp. mustard seeds
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp. anise seed
5 tsp. coarse pepper

4 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. fennel seed
1 tsp. paprika

Mix all ingredients well; refrigerate overnight. Mix each day for 2 more days and 
refrigerate.
On fourth day, shape as pepperoni sticks, lay on cookie sheets and bake at 140 degrees 
for 6 hours or more depending on thickness of sticks.
