Pickled Jalapenos Recipe
Description
This Pickled Jalapenos recipe involves slicing jalapeno peppers into rings and packing them into a quart-sized jar. A hot brine made from equal parts white vinegar and water, sweetened with honey, and seasoned with garlic, bay leaf, salt, Mexican oregano, and peppercorns is boiled and then poured over the peppers.
The pickling process imparts a crisp, acidic bite with balanced heat from the jalapenos and depth from the herbs and spices. Letting the peppers sit refrigerated for at least a day allows flavors to meld and intensify, although they are usable immediately.
The pickled peppers can be kept covered in the refrigerator and will stay good for up to three months, making them a convenient addition to sandwiches, tacos, salads, or appetizers.
Ingredients
- 5-6 jalapeno pepper sliced
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 clove garlic smashed
- 1 tablespoon honey or use sugar
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
- 1 teaspoon peppercorns
Instructions
- First, slice your batch of jalapeno peppers into rings and discard the stems. Stuff the jalapeno slices into a quart sized jar (Ball jar or Mason jar).
- Next, add the vinegar, water, honey, garlic, bay leaf, salt, Mexican oregano, black peppercorns, and salt to a pot. Bring the brine mixture to a quick boil.
- Give it a quick stir, then remove the brine from heat. Cool slightly.
- Pour the brine into the jar over the jalapeno peppers. Secure with a lid and let come to room temperature. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- Keep pickled jalapenos refrigerated and covered to preserve flavor and safety.
- Use them right away or allow at least 1 to 2 days for best pickling results and flavor development.
- These pickled jalapenos can be stored up to three months in the refrigerator.
