Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Fresh jalapeño peppers
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 1 piece Bay leaf
Instructions
Wash the jalapeño peppers thoroughly and slice them into thin rings.
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Stir over medium heat until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
Add the garlic cloves, black peppercorns, and bay leaf to the vinegar mixture. Bring to a gentle simmer for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Carefully pack the sliced jalapeño peppers into a clean, heatproof jar, ensuring they are snug but not overly compacted.
Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the peppers, making sure they are fully submerged. Discard the bay leaf if desired.
Allow the jar to cool to room temperature, then seal it with a lid and refrigerate.
Let the pickled jalapeños sit in the fridge for at least 24 hours before using to develop their flavors. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
