Preserved Pickled Hot Jalapeno Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Rinse the jalapeno peppers in cool water.
• Trim the stems to 1/2" and cut 2 small slits in each pepper, OR cut into 1/4" slices.
• Divide the habanero slices, onion slices, garlic, oregano, bay leaves and peppercorns evenly between your 4 sterilized pint jars. Add 1/4 teaspoon Pickle Crisp to each jar.
• Pack the peppers on top of these seasonings in the jars, leaving 1 inch headspace.
• In a 2 to 3 quart stainless steel saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, sugar and salt and bring to a boil. Stir until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
• Ladle this brine into the jars, covering the peppers and leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
• Using a bubble freeer or plastic knife, remove any air bubbles.
• Wipe the jar rims and threads with a clean, damp cloth. Cover with hot lids and apply screw rings.
• Process pint jars in a water bath for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Prepare the jars and lids:
• Wash all jars and lids thoroughly with soap and water and rinse well. Fill your canner with enough water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch and bring to a simmer. Using a pair of canning tongs, lower the jars in gently, tilting them to fill with the hot water. In a small saucepan, keep some water warm but not boiling; place the lids in the water. Have an additional kettle of water on to boil.
• Prepare the brine.
• Add vinegar, water, salt and garlic and peppercorns or honey (if using), to a medium saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to keep at a simmer.
• Prepare the jalapenos.
• Wearing latex or plastic gloves, slice the jalapenos into 1/4-inch rings. Add the rings to the brine and bring back to the boil.
• Fill and close the jars.
• Using canning tongs, remove the jars from the canner, carefully pouring the water back into the canner. Set next to the jalapenos in the saucepan. Turn the heat under the canner to high. Use a ladle to pour the jalapenos into the jars through a canning funnel, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top. Run a clean chopstick around the inside of the jar to dislodge any trapped air. Wipe the rims of the jars with a damp paper towel. Place the lids on, and screw on the rings until just finger-tight.
• Seal the jars.
• Using canning tongs, gently transfer the jars to the canner, taking care to keep them vertical. When all the jars are in the canner, there should be at least 1 inch of water covering them; if you need more, add water from the kettle until the jars are sufficiently covered. Bring the water to a full rolling boil, and process for 5 minutes.
• Remove and cool.
• Using canning tongs, gently remove the jars from the canner and transfer them to a kitchen towel or cooling rack, again keeping them vertical. Do not set hot jars directly onto cool counter surfaces. Leave to cool, undisturbed, for at least 12 hours. If any of the jars do not seal when cool, reprocess using the method above, or refrigerate and use immediately.
• Label and store.
• Add a label to the lid or side of your jar, noting the date it was canned. Remove the rings and store jars in a cool, dark place for up to one year. Refrigerate after opening. Properly-handled sterilized equipment will keep canned foods in good condition for years. Sterilizing jars is the first step of preserving foods.

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and garlic in a pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar and salt dissolve. Remove pickling liquid from heat.
• Stir jalapeno peppers into the pot. Let stand until slightly cooled, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer jalapeno peppers to a large Mason jar; pour in pickling liquid to cover. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate.

Steps:

• Inspect a 12-ounce jar for cracks. Immerse in simmering water until jalapenos are ready. Wash new, unused lid and ring in warm soapy water.
• Bring water, vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and let brine cool slightly.
• Place jalapenos in the sterilized jar. Poor cooled brine over top, leaving about 1/2 inch of head space at top of jar for expansion. Cover with the lid and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Combine water, vinegar, sugar, kosher salt, garlic, and oregano in a saucepan over high heat. Bring mixture to a boil, stir in jalapeno peppers and remove from heat. Let mixture cool for 10 minutes.
• Pack peppers into jars using tongs, cover with vinegar mixture, cover, and refrigerate until needed.

Steps:

• Seed, stem and slice peppers, or leave whole if small.
• If you're leaving whole, cut 2 small slits in each pepper or you're going to have exploded peppers.
• Combine vinegar and water and heat to a simmer-do not boil.
• Pack peppers tightly into jars, pour hot vinegar/water over peppers leaving 1/2 inch head space.
• Add salt-to taste. Process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
• You can add 1 clove of garlic to each jar if you like.
