Pickled Jalapeños Ingredients

Method

Pickled Jalapeños Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    Wash the jalapeños thoroughly. Remove the stems and slice them into rings. If you prefer less heat, you can remove some of the seeds.

  2. 2

    Make the Pickling Brine

    In a saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, garlic cloves, black peppercorns, and oregano. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.

  3. 3

    Pack the Jalapeños

    Place the sliced jalapeños into a clean, sterilized jar. Pour the hot pickling brine over the jalapeños, ensuring they are fully submerged.

  4. 4

    Seal and Cool

    Seal the jar tightly and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the jar.

  5. 5

    Let it Pickle

    Allow the jalapeños to pickle for at least 24 hours before using for the best flavor. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a month.
