Pickled Jalapenos

PIckled Jalapenos

A delicious homemade replacement for the canned pickled jalapenos for nachos. Easy to make, super tasty, and a great way to enjoy a bumper crop of jalapenos.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Overnight cooling time 8 hours
Course Condiment
Servings 2 16 oz jars

Equipment

  • 2 16 oz canning jars
  • Canning weights optional
  • saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 onion red or white, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves peeled
  • 4 whole black peppercorns
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 6 jalapenos sliced
  • 3 carrots sliced
  • 1 Tbsp salt canning or kosher
  • ½ cup white vinegar
  • ½ cup water

Instructions
 

  • Clean and prepare canning jars.
  • In a large pan, heat the oil. Add onion, garlic, peppercorns, thyme, oregano, and bay leaves. Stir for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add jalapenos and carrots, cook for 2-4 more minutes.
  • Add salt, water, and vinegar, then simmer for 2-4 minutes.
  • Ladle the veggies into the jars, and top off with brine. Leave approximately ½ inch of headspace, and use canning weights if necessary to keep the veggies submerged in the brine. Cover with the lids.
  • Allow to cool and refrigerate 8-24 hours before serving. The pickled veggies will keep for 2-4 weeks in the fridge.

Notes

  • The heat of your pickled jalapenos depends completely on the heat of the raw jalapenos.
  • I highly recommend saving this recipe for a day when you can keep the windows open while cooking. The vinegar and jalapenos can be a bit intense when heated.
