Ingredients

  • 12 Jalapenos stems trimmed and sliced in half lengthwise
  • 4 cloves Garlic smashed and peeled
  • 1 cup Distilled White Vinegar
  • 1 cup Water
  • 4 tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Kosher Salt

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan combine the water, vinegar, sugar, and salt.
    1 cup Distilled White Vinegar, 1 cup Water, 4 tablespoons Sugar, 2 tablespoons Kosher Salt
  • Heat the brine, stirring, just enough to dissolve the sugar and salt.
  • Remove the pot off of the heat and set aside until the jars are stuffed with the jalapenos and garlic.
    12 Jalapenos, 4 cloves Garlic
  • Pour or spoon the pickling juices over the top until you've reached the top of the jalapenos.
  • Let cool at room temperature before securing a lid and placing them in the fridge.
  • Refrigerate for 3 to 5 days. (start taste testing at about 2-3 days, your preference)

Notes

I treat these as I would any opened jar of jalapenos. They should last a long while, about 2-3 months if kept refrigerated in an airtight jar.
