Y’all.

These are literally the best pickled jalapenos I’ve ever had.

My cousin-in-law brought some to one of our family get-togethers and I had a hard time not eating the entire jar.

Then I promptly got to work canning some of my own!

Actually, after I canned some, there was some left-over syrup and I drank it.

No shame.

So needless to say, I think y’all should make some too.

I wouldn’t want you to miss out!

Pickled Jalapeño Recipe

• 4 pound fresh jalapeños, sliced thin
• 2.75 cup apple cider vinegar
• 8 cups granulated sugar
• 8 Tablespoons mustard seed
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 4 Tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Mix all ingredients other then the jalapeños and bring to a boil on medium heat. Actually when I made this last I was out of celery seed, and it still turned out wonderfully. So if you need to skip a spice it will still be fabulous.

While you are waiting for the syrup to boil, cut jalapeños into thin slices.

Once syrup boils, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 5 minutes.

Add jalapeños and bring back to a low simmer for another 5 minutes or so.

I find I have a lot more success with the lids sealing properly if I put them in hot water for a while before I screw them onto the jars. So around this point I’ll put them in a pot and warm up the water (not to boiling though, just hot to the touch).

You can can these in either half-pints or pints. I generally have more pints because I can all our jam in all our half-pints.

Ladle the jalapenos and syrup into your jars, wipe the rims, and adjust the two-piece lids.

Process them for 15 min in a boiling water bath canner. For the amount of ingredients in this recipe, I usually turn out with 8 pints total.

And done! Woohoo!

All you need to do now is let them sit in the canner until it is cooled. That makes it way more likely that they’ll all seal successfully. And there’s really no rush to take them out.

And blessings.
