Ingredients
- 3 whole peppers Fresh jalapenos
- 2 cups White vinegar
- 2 whole cloves Garlic cloves (optional)
- 1 piece Glass jar or bottle with airtight lid
- 1 pair Rubber gloves (optional, for handling peppers)
Instructions
Put on rubber gloves, if desired, to protect your hands while handling the jalapenos.
Wash the jalapenos thoroughly under cool running water and pat them dry.
Slice the jalapenos into thin rounds. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds and membranes.
Optional: Lightly smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife to release their flavor.
In a small saucepan, bring the white vinegar to a gentle simmer over low-medium heat. Do not let it boil.
Place the sliced jalapenos and garlic cloves (if using) into a clean glass jar or bottle.
Carefully pour the hot vinegar over the jalapenos, making sure they are fully submerged in the liquid.
Seal the jar or bottle with an airtight lid and let it cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, store in the refrigerator. Allow the vinegar to infuse for at least 24 hours before using for best flavor.
Shake the jar gently before each use and enjoy in your favorite recipes!
