QUICK 10 MINUTE PICKLED JALAPENO



Quick 10 Minute Pickled jalapeno image

I used 2 tablespoons sugar in the recipe for a spicy/mild flavor. For spicier jalapenos use 1 tablespoon sugar and for less spicy jalapenos use 3 tablespoons sugar. The more sugar you use, the more heat will be absorbed.

Time P3DT35m

Yield 96

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds fresh jalapeno peppers
½ cup thinly sliced white onion
1 large carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cups distilled white vinegar (5% acidity)
2 cups water
4 teaspoons pickling salt
2 teaspoons white sugar
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons dried oregano
4 bay leaves
2 teaspoons black peppercorns, crushed
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon calcium chloride (such as Pickle Crisp®)

Steps:

  • Remove the stems from jalapenos and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices. Remove some or all of the seeds, as desired, by rinsing jalapenos several times in a bowl with cold water and swirling until the seeds break off.
  • Inspect four 8-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jalapenos are ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  • Toss jalapenos, onion, and carrots together in a bowl.
  • Combine vinegar, water, pickling salt, and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir until sugar has dissolved.
  • Place 1 garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1 bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon crushed peppercorns, and 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds in each jar. Distribute jalapeno mixture among the jars, packing jars tightly without crushing the vegetables.
  • Pour boiling pickling liquid over the vegetables, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove any air bubbles and add 1/8 teaspoon calcium chloride to each jar.
  • Wipe jar rims clean and place lids on jars. Put on bands and close tightly.
  • Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and remove the lid of the canning pot. Let the jars sit in the hot liquid for 5 minutes, then remove and let them cool for 24 hours. Wait at least 2 days before serving, or up to 1 to 2 weeks.

EASY PICKLED JALAPENOS



Easy Pickled Jalapenos image

Homemade pickled jalapenos are a treat to have on hand for chilis, tacos, salads and sandwiches. Pouring hot brine over them instead of boiling them gives them a pleasant fresh crispness instead of the soft texture of the store-bought variety.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 1 pint

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 onion, sliced thinly (about 1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
5 large jalapenos, cut into 1/8-inch rounds

Steps:

  • Combine the vinegar, 2/3 cup water, onions, salt, peppercorns and coriander in a small pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Put the jalapenos in a heatproof 1-pint jar and pour the hot pickling mixture over them. Allow them to sit and soak up the flavor for 30 minutes up to overnight-the longer they sit, the more they will soften and absorb flavor. Stored in the refrigerator, they will keep for up to 1 month.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality jalapeños: Look for jalapeños that are firm, plump, and have a deep green color. Avoid any jalapeños that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: The capsaicin in jalapeños can irritate your skin, so it's important to wear gloves when handling them. If you do get capsaicin on your skin, wash it off with soap and water immediately.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the jalapeños: A sharp knife will help you make clean, even slices. This will help the jalapeños pickle evenly.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños (optional): If you want your pickled jalapeños to be less spicy, you can remove the seeds and ribs. However, this is not necessary.
  • Use a variety of pickling liquids: You can use a variety of pickling liquids to make pickled jalapeños. Some popular options include vinegar, brine, and oil. You can also add other ingredients to the pickling liquid, such as herbs, spices, and sweeteners.
  • Let the pickled jalapeños rest for at least 24 hours before eating: This will allow the flavors to develop and mellow.

Conclusion:

Pickled jalapeños are a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With so many different ways to make pickled jalapeños, you're sure to find a recipe that you love.
