Ingredients

  • 9-10 jalapeños thinly sliced
  • 1 Tbsp. black peppercorns
  • 3 cloves garlic peeled and smashed (optional)
  • 1 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 1 cup filtered water
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. kosher salt

Instructions

  • Prep and slice: Grab 1, 32 oz. mason jar, or 2, 16 oz. mason jars with lids. Slice the jalapeños ¼ -⅛ inch thick slices depending on preference (I like to wear food-safe gloves), and add sliced jalapeños, garlic and black peppercorns into the jar(s).
    9-10 jalapeños, 1 Tbsp. black peppercorns, 3 cloves garlic
    Chopping jalapenos on green cutting board.
  • Simmer: Add the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar and salt have dissolved, 5 minutes.
    1 cup distilled white vinegar, 1 cup filtered water, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 1 Tbsp. kosher salt
  • Pour: Pour the brine over the jalapeños, gently pushing them down as needed to ensure they are submerged. You might have a little leftover liquid, but it should be the perfect amount.
  • Room temperature: Secure the lid and allow the jalapeños to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Refrigerate: Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before using on your favorite meals!
