Pickled Jalapeños
This recipe creates tangy, slightly spicy pickled jalapeños featuring sliced peppers with seeds left intact, combined with garlic and cumin seeds. The jalapeños are packed into a jar and covered with a boiled vinegar mixture sweetened with sugar and seasoned with salt. After cooling and refrigeration, the peppers pickle for at least 12 hours to develop a crisp, bright, acidic bite useful for topping dishes or side condiments.
