Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs fresh jalapeños (about 30 peppers)
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp celery seed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Remove and discard stems from peppers, then slice into 1/4" slices. Set pepper slices aside.
  2. To a large pot, add cider vinegar, white sugar, garlic powder, turmeric, and celery seed and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to about MED LOW and simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Raise the heat to about MED HIGH to bring mixture back to a boil. Once boiling, add the pepper slices. Allow to return to a boil, then reduce the heat again (to about MED LOW) and simmer for 4 minutes.
  4. Transfer the peppers using a slotted spoon to clean glass canning jars, filling jars to within 1/4 inch of the upper rim of the jar.
  5. Only the syrup should remain in the pot at this point. Increase the heat to bring to a full rolling boil. Boil like that for approximately 6 minutes.
  6. Ladle the syrup into the jars with the jalapeno slices. If you notice any air pockets, take a clean spoon and insert it into the jar to get rid of the trapped air. Fill jars to within 1/4-1/2" from the upper rim of the jar.
  7. Wipe the rims of the jars with a damp paper towel, then screw on canning jar lids. Label if desired and refrigerate for at least 1-2 weeks (3-4 weeks for optimal flavor). Candied jalapenos are good for up to 3 months if kept properly refrigerated.

Notes

  • Recipe makes enough to fill approximately 2 pint sized jars.
  • This recipe has not been tested with sugar substitutes or with reducing the amount of sugar - make changes at your own discretion and using your best judgement.
  • Leftover syrup can be stored in glass jars as well.  I love to add it to my macaroni/potato salad.  It's also amazing brushed on bacon!
