Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Fresh jalapenos
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
Instructions
Put on gloves to protect your hands from the jalapeno oils. Slice the jalapenos into thin rings, discarding the stems. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, water, kosher salt, and garlic powder. Stir well.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar completely.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the sliced jalapenos to the saucepan and stir to coat them evenly in the syrup.
Let the jalapenos simmer in the syrup for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the jalapenos to a sterilized glass jar or container, leaving the syrup in the saucepan.
Return the saucepan with the syrup to the stove and increase the heat to medium-high. Boil the syrup for 5 additional minutes to thicken slightly.
Carefully pour the hot syrup over the jalapenos in the jar, making sure they are fully submerged.
Let the jar cool to room temperature before sealing it with a lid and refrigerating. Allow at least 24 hours for the flavors to meld before serving.
Store the sugared jalapenos in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
