PICKLED JALAPEñOS

Steps:

• Slice Peppers: Wash peppers and cut off steams. Slice peppers into 1/4-inch thick rings. Wear gloves for this step to avoid burning your hands. And do NOT touch your eyes or any other sensitive body parts.
• Heat Jars: Place a rack into the bottom of a large pot. Fill pot with enough water to cover jars. Submerge jars in water. Bring water to a simmer, 180 degrees. Simmer jars for 10 minutes. (Since the peppers process for 10 minutes, you don't need to boil the jars.)
• Prepare the Brine: While the jars heat, combine vinegar, water, and salt medium saucepan. Boil for five minutes.
• Pack Jars. Remove jars from the water. Pack the peppers into hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Add 1/4 teaspoon Pickle Crisp to each jar, if desired.
• Add Brine. Ladle brine into jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Using a wooden chopstick, bubble tool, or soft rubber spatula, remove air bubbles. Measure headspace. Add more brine if needed.
• Clean Rim and Apply Lids. Wipe rim with clean, damp cloth. Place lid on jar. Screw on band to "fingertip tight." You should feel some resistance but you don't want to crank the band on too tight.
• Process Jars. Lower jars into pot. Water should cover jars by 1 to 2-inches after all jars are in the pot. Cover the pot. Return water to a boil. Process for 10 minutes. (Start the timer once the water returns to a boil.) Be sure to maintain a rolling boil during the entire 10 minute processing time.When processing time completes, turn off the burner and remove lid. Wait 5 minutes before removing jars from the pot. Lift the jars out of the water straight. Avoid tipping the jars. Place hot jars on a towel-lined counter or wood cutting board. Allow jars to cool for 24 hours.
• Check Seals. Press the center of the lid. It should not move. Remove outer ring. Gently try to lift the lid off the jar. It should not move. Wipe jars. Label. If any jar didn't seal, place into the refrigerator and enjoy within a week or so.
• Store: Place jars in a cool place out of direct sunlight. For best flavor, wait six weeks before enjoying the peppers.

EASY PICKLED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Combine the vinegar, 2/3 cup water, onions, salt, peppercorns and coriander in a small pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
• Put the jalapenos in a heatproof 1-pint jar and pour the hot pickling mixture over them. Allow them to sit and soak up the flavor for 30 minutes up to overnight-the longer they sit, the more they will soften and absorb flavor. Stored in the refrigerator, they will keep for up to 1 month.

PICKLED JALAPENOS CANNING RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash your jars, lids, screw bands, and canning tools in hot soapy water. Rinse well to remove all suds. Set aside to air dry on a clean kitchen towel.
• Place the jar rack into water bath canner, place jars in the canner, and add water to cover. Bring the canner to a simmer (180˚F) for 10 minutes, and keep the jars hot until you are ready to fill them.
• Rinse the chiles well under clean running water and air dry on a kitchen towel.
• Slip on a pair of gloves to prevent burns, remove the stems, and cut the peppers into 1-inch slices or rings. Set aside.
• Combine vinegar, water, and garlic in a large saucepot. Bring to a boil over high heat, and then reduce heat to low and simmer (180˚F) for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the garlic. Keep warm.
• Spread a kitchen towel on the counter. Remove a warm jar from canner using the jar lifter. Drain the water back into the canner and place on the towel. Keep the remaining jars in the canner so they stay hot.
• Use the canning funnel and fill the jar with the sliced jalapeños.
• Ladle hot pickling liquid over the peppers and maintain a 1/4-inch headspace.
• Run the bubble popper through the jars to release air bubbles. Wipe the rim clean with a damp paper towel.
• Center a lid on the jar, and screw on the band until it is fingertip tight. Use the jar lifter to place the jar back into the canner, and repeat with the remaining jars.
• Once jars are all in canner, adjust the water level so it is two inches above the jar tops.
• Cover the canning pot and bring it to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once the pot boils, process half-pints for 10 minutes at altitudes of less than 1,000 ft. Adjust processing time for your altitude if necessary. (See notes)
• When processing time is complete, turn off heat, remove the cover by tilting lid away from you so that steam does not burn your face, and allow the canner to cool down and settle for 5 minutes.
• Spread a dry kitchen towel on the counter. Use a jar lifter to remove the jars one at a time from the canner. Keep the jars upright, and place them on the towel. Do not tighten ring bands or test the seals yet. Let the jars sit undisturbed for 12 to 24-hours to cool.
• After the jars have cooled for at least 12 hours, check to be sure lids have sealed by pushing on the center of the lid. The lid should not pop up. If the lid flexes up and down, it did not seal. Place the jar in the refrigerator, and use within a month.
• Remove the ring bands, wash, label, date the jars, and store in a cool, dark place between 50 to 70 degrees F for 12 to 18 months. Allow 4-5 weeks for the pickles to develop flavor. Once the jar is open, refrigerate and use up within a month. Makes about 5 half-pint jars of picked jalapeños.

PICKLED JALAPENO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Slice peppers or leave them whole.
• (To prevent bursting, cut two small slits in whole peppers.).
• Pack peppers tightly into clean, hot jars.
• Combine vinegar and water; heat to a simmer.
• Do not boil.
• Pour hot vinegar over peppers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
• Add pickling salt and a clove of garlic to each jar then seal.
• Process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

BEST PICKLED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• In clean sterilized jars, place the olive oil, oregano, garlic and carrots and onions (optional).
• Mix the brine ingredients and bring to a boil.
• Pack your peppers (and other vegetables) in jars to 3/4 full (peppers will expand).
• Pour boiling brine over the peppers within 1/2" from the top.
• Seal by hot water bath for 20 minutes.
• Let jars sit for 3 weeks for the best flavor.
• NOTE: The amount of peppers is not given here. It all depends on how many peppers you can stuff into a jar, and how many jars you will be making. I think I used 1# or maybe 1 1/2# for this amount of ingredients.

PICKLED JALAPENO RINGS

Steps:

• In a clean 1 quart glass jar, layer a quarter each of the jalapenos, dill and garlic; repeat, filling the jar. In a saucepan, bring water, vinegar, salt and pickling spices to a simmer until salt dissolves. Pour into jar to cover peppers; seal. Let stand until cool. Refrigerate at least 7 days; store up to 1 month.
