Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups white vinegar
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 tbsp white sugar
  • 2 tbsp kosher salt
  • 5 cloves smashed, peeled, cloves of garlic
  • 20 medium/large sliced, whole jalapeno peppers

Method
 

  1. Combine the top 6 ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  2. Wash, then slice the jalapenos into rings.
  3. As soon as the vinegar mixture comes to a boil, immediately add the sliced jalapenos, stir and remove the saucepan from heat.
  4. Let the saucepan of pickled jalapenos sit in the hot vinegar liquid for 10 minutes (or even longer is fine).
  5. Carefully place the heated jalapeno slices into a quart jar (glass bowl is fine if that is what you have) and fill to the top, pushing the peppers down with tongs as you go.
  6. Using a ladle, fill the jar of jalapenos with the pickling liquid, about 1/4 inch from the top. You can let these cool on the counter, eat them or store them in the fridge with a lid or cover.
  7. These can be kept in the refrigerator for several months if kept covered.

Notes

***smaller jalapenos are typically hotter than the larger jalapenos, so choose the size based on your likes***
