Sweet and spicy jalapeño pickles that are quick to make. Perfect for adding bold flavor to any meal or snack.
# Ingredients:
→ Fresh Vegetables
01 -
2 cups fresh jalapeños, sliced into rings
02 -
1/2 cup yellow onion, sliced paper thin
→ Pickling Brine
03 -
3/4 cup white vinegar
04 -
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
05 -
1/2 cup granulated sugar
06 -
1 teaspoon celery seed
07 -
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
08 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
# Steps:
01 -
Put the sliced jalapeños and onions into a clean, heat-safe glass jar. Pack them in nice and snug.
02 -
In a small saucepan, mix together both vinegars, sugar, celery seed, mustard seeds, and salt. Give it a good stir to combine everything.
03 -
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar and salt completely dissolve - this takes about 3-4 minutes.
04 -
Carefully pour that hot brine right over the jalapeños and onions, making sure everything is completely covered with liquid.
05 -
Let the jar sit uncovered on your counter for about an hour to cool down to room temperature.
06 -
Pop the lid on and stick it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better for the best flavor.
# Tips:
01 -
Always wear gloves when handling jalapeños to protect your hands from the oils that can cause burning.
02 -
Want them milder? Remove all the seeds before slicing. Love the heat? Keep those seeds in there!
03 -
The mix of white and apple cider vinegar gives these pickles a more complex, rounded flavor than using just one type.
04 -
These pickles are amazing on burgers, tacos, sandwiches, or just eaten straight from the jar with some cheese.
