Ingredients

  • 2 cups jalapeno pepper fresh, sliced, about 4-5 peppers
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • ½ cup white vinegar
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place vinegar, water, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat on the stove until sugar and salt have dissolved and mixture is simmering.
  2. Let the brine cool completely at room temperature. This helps keep the jalapeños crisp and bright green.
  3. Pack sliced jalapeños and garlic cloves into a pint-sized glass jar.
  4. Pour vinegar mixture over jalapeños and garlic. Place lid on jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  5. Jalapeños will last in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Jalapeños must be fresh for this recipe. You can substitute them with other fresh peppers like serrano peppers, anaheim peppers, and even bell peppers.
  • I like to use white vinegar for pickled jalapeños because it adds a crisp, tangy flavor. But, you can switch it up with apple cider vinegar or your favorite type of vinegar.
  • I use table salt for this recipe but you can also use kosher salt or sea salt.
  • Use disposable gloves when removing the seeds from the peppers to avoid a long-lasting burning sensation on your fingertips!
