Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Fresh jalapeno peppers
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves (peeled and smashed)
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
Instructions
Wash the jalapeno peppers thoroughly. Slice them into thin rings, discarding the stems. Adjust the slice thickness based on your preference.
In a small saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, kosher salt, garlic cloves, and black peppercorns.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture gently. Heat until the sugar and salt dissolve completely and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
Meanwhile, pack the sliced jalapeno peppers into a clean, heat-safe jar, leaving a little space at the top.
Once the brine is ready, carefully pour the hot mixture over the peppers in the jar, ensuring all the slices are submerged. Use a spoon to press them down if needed.
Allow the jar to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, seal the jar with its lid and refrigerate the pickled jalapenos.
Let the peppers steep in the brine for at least 24 hours before serving to enhance their flavor. They will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
