Quick Fridge Pickled Jalapeño Peppers
Description
Quick Fridge Pickled Jalapeño Peppers offers a straightforward method for preserving slices of fresh jalapeños using a simple pickling brine composed of white vinegar, water, sea salt, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Heating the liquid briefly with the peppers and seasonings softens the peppers slightly while infusing them with flavors. The choice to add sugar allows some control over spiciness. Once cooled, the peppers are quickly transferred to a mason jar and refrigerated, making them ready to use after a short resting period. This preparation leverages the natural crunch of jalapeños combined with piquant and herbal notes from garlic and oregano.
The recipe suggests adjusting pepper quantity by volume rather than count, since jalapeños vary in size. It also notes the possibility of omitting sugar for a more intense heat. This quick pickled jalapeño recipe is convenient for anyone wanting preserved spicy peppers that keep well in the fridge and serve as versatile toppings or garnishes.
Ingredients
- 24 oz mason jar
- 2-3 cups jalapeño see below, sliced
- ¾ cup white vinegar
- ¾ cup water
- ½ TBSP salt sea salt
- 2 cloves garlic peeled + minced
- ½ tsp oregano dried
- sugar if less spicy peppers are desired, optional 1-2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Wash and dry a 24-32 oz capacity mason jar.
- Slice your peppers into discs, discarding the stem.
- Bring water and vinegar to a boil in a medium saucepan.
- Add peppers, sea salt, garlic, oregano, and sugar.
- Skip the sugar if you want supremely spicy jalapeños.
- Reduce heat to lowest setting and simmer for about a minute before removing from heat.
- Allow to cool (approx. 10 minutes or so) then pour into your mason jar.
- Slap on the lid and pop in the fridge. That's it!
Notes
- Use about 2 to 3 cups of thinly sliced jalapeño rounds for best jar filling and pickling coverage.
- Omit sugar entirely for a spicier result or substitute with honey for a paleo-friendly sweetener option.
- Allow the brine to cool slightly before adding to the jar to preserve crisp texture.
- Keep the sealed jar refrigerated and use within a few weeks for optimal flavor and freshness.
