I am new to pickling. I have been wanting to try it out for a few years now and just haven't seem to have a chance. I decided to start with something I really enjoy and go eat a lot of. So, the first thing that came to my mind was jalapenos!!
These turned out great!! Crunchy and spicy... I even had some on my eggs this morning. :)
P.s. Be sure to wear gloves.
Pickled Jalapenos
Yield: 1 pint
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb. jalapenos, sliced
- 1 large clove garlic, crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/8 teaspoon turmeric
Cooking Directions
- *Wash peppers and cut off stems. Slice peppers into 1/8 inch slices and place them in a pint jar with sealing lid. Peel and crush garlic clove place in jar, set aside.
- Mix vinegar, salt, sugar, water, and turmeric in a small sauce pan and slowly heat to near boil. Pour warm brine over peppers in jar. Allow mixture to cool slightly; seal with the lid and store in refrigerator. Let peppers marinate for at least 3 days (I usually do about a week before opening) before opening.
- With refrigeration peppers will keep for several months.

Wanting to know if these can be canned and if adding the turmeric keeps them crisp??
Thank you,
Hope
Hi Hope! I am super new to this, I honestly have no clue if these can be canned or not. As for the turmeric I used it for flavoring. Why they are still crisp/crunchy for me I am not sure but they are. I am two weeks into my pint and this is my first time making it. If my pint last a few more weeks I can let you know if they stay crisp/crunchy. Thanks! Kristen
