Ingredients

  • 4 cups white vinegar
  • 1 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1 lb jalapeños seeded and sliced in rings or just pack 4-pint jars worth
  • salt to taste optional we do not use but please see notes

Instructions

  • Bring the vinegar, sugar, mustard seed and celery seed to a rolling boil.
  • Fill each jar ¾ full of sliced jalapeno slices.
  • Pour brine over peppers to within 1/2" of the top.
  • Wipe off the rim and put lid and ring on.
  • Label jars with the date so you know exactly how long they have been in the refrigerator. 
  • Store in the fridge. Store in the fridge for at least 24 hours before eating.
  • You can also follow proper canning procedures and then process them in a water bath canner if you prefer (will lend a slightly less crunchy pepper). Follow the USDA guidelines for timing.
  • Be sure to verify that the lids have completely sealed down if storing on the shelf.
  • Leave for 1 week or longer (if you can stand it!)
  • Enjoy!

Notes

These jalapeño peppers can last about 1 year in the refrigerator.
Store in the fridge for at least 24 hours before eating.
