Were the peppers already pickled on the plant somehow? Is there a type of pepper called pickled peppers? What is a peck anyway?
A peck is (was) a unit of measure, oddly. Same with a bushel. I know because my Grandma used to say “a bushel and a peck, and a squeeze around the neck!” to me when I was young. I had to ask her too.

Rewritten with synonyms that are more understandable:
Peter Piper selected a 2-gallon quantity of pickled peppers.

Was there a little piggy there too?
