Description

Ingredients

• 3 pounds fresh, firm, washed jalapeno peppers, sliced into ⅛-1/4 inch slices
• 2 cups cider vinegar
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 3 teaspoons granulated garlic
• ½ tsp ground cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 1 red bell pepper, if desired for color

Directions

• In a large pot, bring cider vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, cayenne, and celery seed to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the jalapeno pepper slices (and red bell pepper, if desired) and simmer for 4 minutes.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer the peppers into clean, sterile canning jars, packing the jalapeños semi-firmly within ¼-inch of the rim of the jar.
• Turn heat up for the remaining syrup and bring to a full rolling boil.
• Boil for 5 minutes.
• Use a ladle to pour the boiling syrup into the jars over the jalapeño slices.
• Insert a knife into each of the jars two or three times to release any trapped pockets of air.
• Add more syrup if necessary. (*see notes for leftover syrup)
• Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp paper towel then screw on two-part canning lids.
• If you do NOT want to properly can these, simply cool jars at room temperature for an hour and then store them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 months.
• Use proper canning procedures to store at room temperature for longer periods of time.
• To can, place jars in a canner and cover with water by 2-inches. Bring the water to a full rolling boil. When it reaches a boil, set the timer for 10 minutes for half-pint jars or 15 minutes for pint jars. When the timer goes off, use canning tongs to transfer the jars to a cooling rack or kitchen towel. Leave them to cool, undisturbed, for 24 hours. When fully cooled, wipe them with a clean damp washcloth. Double check that theyve sealed properly by pushing down on the center of the lid. It will not move if it is sealed.
