\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nVegetable gardens can be hit or miss. My first year growing peppers, I had four plants and got maybe 3 peppers in total. One plant didn\u2019t produce any fruit at all!<\/p>\n
The next year, though, I had two jalape\u00f1o plants that ended up producing more jalape\u00f1os than I knew what to do with!<\/p>\n
We added jalape\u00f1os to everything: Homemade Pizza<\/a>, Oven-Roasted Hash Brown Potatoes<\/a>, Beans and Rice<\/a>\u2026but somehow, we still had even more left!<\/p>\n I don\u2019t know about you, but when my garden produces THAT MUCH of something, it\u2019s time to move beyond adding it to meals and figure out how to save some of it for the future.<\/p>\n That\u2019s when I came up with this pickled jalapeno recipe!<\/p>\n Pickling jalapeno peppers is as simple as mixing a quick brine, soaking the jalape\u00f1o peppers, and popping them in the refrigerator!<\/p>\n As it turns out, making pickled jalape\u00f1o peppers is REALLY easy. It\u2019s just as easy as my Homemade Hot Sauce Recipe<\/a>, and just as delicious!<\/p>\n Aside from being easy, this pickled jalapeno recipe is:<\/p>\n You\u2019ll be surprised at how short the ingredient list is for homemade pickled jalapeno peppers. And you might be even more surprised that you likely have everything you need already in your pantry!<\/p>\n Psst! If you\u2019re going to add salt, I highly recommend Ava Jane\u2019s Kitchen. You may think all salt is created equal, but unfortunately, 90% of the salt produced around the world contains microplastics<\/a> (gross, right?). Ava Jane\u2019s Kitchen is an exception. Their salt is 100% microplastic-free, and it\u2019s SO GOOD! Plus, you can get a free 8oz. bag of sea salt (just pay shipping and handling!)<\/em><\/p>\n And that\u2019s it! So, pull out your stockpot<\/a> and let\u2019s get started pickling jalapeno peppers!<\/p>\n This truly is a 10-minute pickled jalapeno recipe, and it\u2019s only four steps:<\/p>\n Step 1. Combine<\/strong> the vinegar, water, garlic, salt, and sugar in a large saucepan and bring to a boil.<\/p>\n Step 2. Add the sliced jalape\u00f1os,<\/strong> stir well, and remove from the heat. Note: I strongly recommend you wear disposable gloves when you cut the jalapeno peppers. The spicy oils from the peppers can transfer from your hands to your eyes very easily!<\/em><\/p>\n Step 3. Let the peppers sit<\/strong> for 8 minutes.<\/p>\n Step 4. Use a ladle or tongs to remove the peppers<\/strong> from the pot and place them in a glass mason jar. Pour the hot brine mixture over the jalape\u00f1os to fill the jar. Screw on the lid until it seals. Cool completely to room temperature before storing.<\/p>\n See? Isn\u2019t that EASY?!<\/p>\n Technically, this pickled jalapeno recipe is considered refrigerator pickles. I recommend storage in pint jars<\/a> or an airtight container<\/a> in the refrigerator. They have the best flavor in the first two weeks, but they will keep for several weeks.<\/p>\n According to the USDA canning guide<\/a>, pickled jalape\u00f1os can be canned via hot water bath and processed for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n If canning jalapeno peppers scares you, you can freeze them in glass jars. Here\u2019s how to freeze glass jars without breaking them<\/a>. Try these small glass jars<\/a> to freeze them in perfect portions for taco night!<\/p>\n Pickled jalape\u00f1o peppers make a flavorful addition to all sorts of meals! We love pickled jalapenos on all sorts of dishes!!<\/p>\n Using pickled jalape\u00f1o peppers is a great way to add a pop of flavor without adding a ton of fat or calories to the dish, like you might if you added a dressing or sauce.<\/p>\n In fact, the peppers barely change your macros at all! If your food is feeling a little bland, pickled jalapenos are a perfect way to add some zingy flavor. Quick Pickled Red Onions<\/a> and 15-Minute Hot Sauce<\/a> are similar.<\/p>\n And when you make this homemade pickled jalapeno recipe, you can feel good about adding flavor without adding junky ingredients.<\/p>\n They can be, depending on how hot your peppers are and how much sugar you add. My pepper plant happens to be super-hot, but we like it that way. I just added 1 Tablespoon of sugar per batch. You can add more or less sugar to control the heat. With a simple ingredients list, you\u2019ve got a real food condiment packed with flavor! Most of the sugar will stay in the brining liquid, so I think they are a great option!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n If you\u2019d like, you can certainly add carrots and onions, just like the store-bought canned jalape\u00f1os come with. Just slice them up and throw them in the pot when you add the peppers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Download the top 15+ recipes that are on repeat in my house, making it easy to feed my family AND meet my protein goals!\n\t\t\t\t <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Tiffany<\/span><\/p>\n Use this pickled jalapeno recipe for a yummy topping that\u2019s crisp and crunchy \u2013 it\u2019s a great way to add flavor without affecting your macros!<\/span><\/p>\nHow do you make pickled jalape\u00f1o peppers?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
