What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Daily Special: Jalapeños Pickled! As you may recall, I live in the country. However, I’m really not much of a gardener. Thank goodness my husband is. He cultivates the ground, plants the seedlings, and kicks the weeds to the curb. Then I gather the produce and transform its bounty into wonderful surprises. This pickled recipe makes me feel like a pro. It’s quick, it’s easy, and most of all it’s super delicious! The spiciness has you asking for more.
JALAPEÑOS PICKLED
Ingredients:
15 jalapeño peppers, sliced
2 garlic cloves
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons kosher salt
Instructions:
In a medium sauce pan, combine the garlic, vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Heat to boiling. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. As it continues boiling, add the sliced jalapeños. Keep them submerged under the pickling liquids. Remove the pan from the heat. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the jalapeños and garlic to a clean jar. Ladle the pickling juices over top until the jar is filled. Let cool at room temperature before securing a lid and storing in the refrigerator.

So we don’t have to go through the traditional canning process, huh? That’s good and it looks great!

Nope. Easy peasy. One jar at a time if that’s all you want. I love this “tried and true” recipe! 🌿🌶

This may sound like a simple question but if you don’t grow jalapenos, where’s the best place to buy them?

The produce department of your grocery store usually sells them by the pound. 🌿 Blessings.

MMM love pickled japs! I grow my own jalapeno plants too (and serrano). Did you know you can dehydrate them in the oven too? Then you can store them indefinitely in the pantry. They are great to add to soups or stews and rehydrate perfectly! Here’s the link how to do that: https://anotherfoodieblogger.wordpress.com/2015/10/17/dehydrated-jalapenos/

I have not tried that, Kathryn. Thanks for the tip. I have dried red peppers for using as red pepper flakes as well as habanero peppers. Now I can add jalapeños to the list! 🌿🌱🍃

Oh, Gail! I didn’t know I’ve been wanting this recipe – we’ve been eating these things out of a store-bought jar, now I can make my own! Thanks for the recipe!
