Candied Jalapenos Quick Pickle Recipes

QUICK PICKLED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Bring all ingredients except jalapeños to a boil in a medium sized pot (4-5 cloves smashed garlic, 2 cups white vinegar, 2 cups water, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons kosher salt, 2 teaspoons dried oregano).
• Add jalapeño slices to the pot, stir together, and remove from heat. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
• Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the jalapeños to a jar. Once all the peppers are in there (you can smush them in quite a bit to make them fit), pour enough brine from the pot in the jar to fill it up. Discard any remaining brine.
• Allow the pickled jalapeños to cool in your refrigerator for about an hour before consuming. Store in your fridge for up to 2 months for optimal freshness.

CANDIED JALAPENOS - QUICK PICKLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Make a spice sachet by laying a 5 x 5-inch piece of cheesecloth onto a clean work surface. Spoon the pickling spice into the center. Gather the edges of the cheesecloth together in the center, twisting tightly; tie firmly with kitchen string. Trim the ends with scissors, if necessary.
• Combine the brine ingredients in a medium pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Place the bouquet into the pot with the pickling liquid; simmer covered for 35 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes.
• Remove the bag of spices and discard.
• Meanwhile, use a sharp knife to slice off the stems of the jalapeno and discard. For milder slices, remove the seeds and veins. (Wear gloves to protect your hands)
• Place the jalapeno slices inside of a 1-quart canning jar or 2-pint size glass canning jars with lids. Pour the warm brine into the jar(s) over the jalapenos. Wipe down the outside of the jar and the rim, if necessary. Let the jar(s) cool completely before sealing the jar with the lid and ring.
• Refrigerate the jalapenos at least a week before using. You can enjoy candied jalapenos for up to 3 months sealed tightly in the refrigerator.
