Ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 7 –8 jalapeño peppers finely sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized pot, mix together the white vinegar, water, salt, sugar, and crushed garlic, then bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Once boiling, introduce the sliced jalapeños, stir briefly, and immediately remove the pot from heat. Allow the contents to rest undisturbed for a minimum of 8 minutes. Using tongs, carefully transfer the jalapeño slices into a clean jar and pour the hot brine over them until the jar is full.

Notes

Adjust the sugar to modulate heat: 1 tablespoon for spicier, 3 tablespoons for a milder taste. The pickled jalapeños will keep well in the refrigerator for up to two months.
