Pickled Jalapenos

July 11, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 40 Comments

Hi Everyone!

As you may know I have a little thing for peppers.  I know shocking, huh?  Well today I took one of my all time favorite peppers, the jalapeno and made a recipe that is so simple, inexpensive and darn good, that I can’t believe I waited so long to make it, crazy!  So today’s recipe is Pickled Jalapenos!  Oh yeah!!
Pickled Jalapenos
I know you can buy jalapenos in a jar already pickled, but you know what, this is so easy and they taste so fresh, plus as I mentioned above, it’s pretty cheap to make! A jar of jalapenos cost about $1.99, but my recipes costs oh about .70 cents! I bought my jalapenos at the Farmers Market for .50 cent, but they are about .03 – .05 cents a piece at the grocery store. I planted my own this year, but unfortunately my zucchini plant got so big that it covered up my pepper plants and they didn’t make it do to lack of sun and water. So I bought my own!
Pickled Jalapenos
To make the pickled jalapenos I thinly sliced my peppers and rinsed them under cold water to tame some of the heat. If you want them hot, you can omit this step. Then in a large pot; I boiled distilled vinegar, water, salt, sugar and one clove of garlic. Brought to a boil, turned off the heat and added my jalapenos. Let them sit for 15 minutes and then spoon the jalapenos into a sterilized jar. That’s it! It took my under 20 minutes to make this recipe.  Please note though, this is not a canning recipe, so do not can these peppers.  🙂
Pickled Jalapenos
Let me give you some advice when making this recipe! If you want the peppers less hot, add more sugar to the vinegar mixture. I would say about 3 tablespoons to 1/4 cup. When handling the peppers, wear gloves! The oil from the peppers can burn your hands. Wash your hands immediately after handling the peppers. If your super sensitive to peppers, where a mask or ask someone else to cut them for you. I am highly sensitive to peppers, as it makes it hard for me to breathe. I hold my breath and slice away. I am a glutton for punishment.

  • ¾ cup distilled vinegar
  • ¾ cup filtered water
  • 1 tbsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp. sugar

Pickled Jalapenos
I totally had fun with this recipe! Now I can put these jalapenos on burgers, tacos, salad, crackers, spoon them in my mouth and more!  I think I am going to make the same recipe but use banana peppers instead! Yum!

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    Bought a big batch of jalapeños at a farmers market for canning salsa. Had a bundle left over and didn’t know what to do with them – hate to waste! Well, now they are pickled and in the fridge! Thanks for saving my jalapeños!

      Hi Melissa! You don’t have too, but the sugar dulls the heat from the jalapenos. Try it without the sugar. Let me know how it goes for you. 🙂

      I have had my pickles for 3 weeks and they are still good. I would imagine they would be good for up to month.

      I just checked my peppers in the fridge and they are from 11/2014 and still just fine, I also have candied Jalapenos that are great and they were done the same time. When you make pickles from cucumbers they stay just fine too. Like a previous post says, there really isn’t anything to spoil.

    Anyone who likes spicy food, is going to laugh at only 10 peppers to a jar. 10 peppers is not a lot.but for anyone one who want’s a bit of spice this is good for them. Myself when I am not that hungry or don’t want to cook. I put on KD, got to add the peppers and sriracha sauce. Only way to make it taste good.

    I saw the recipe and questioned when I read equal parts sugar to salt, and regretfully, went ahead and made the pickling liquid. When I tasted it I knew I should have listened to my gut. Way too salty!
    Maybe it should read 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt??

    Does the garlic go in the jar or is it discarded before the jarring process?

      I discard the garlic before jarring it. However if one makes it in, that is fine. 🙂

      Hi Cathy,

      I’ll be honest, I’m not good with canning, so I don’t talk about the process. However, because you used vinegar and canned it properly, then it should be good. I have had my pickled jalapenos in the fridge for a month and they are still good. I think you are pretty safe, as long as you canned them properly and the cans are sealed. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. Thank you for your comment – Jennifer

    When canning something, if it uses vinegar it doesn’t need to be heated. The vinegar brines it and it will last almost forever. Other than vinegar will need to be pressure canned or water bathed to seal the jars to keep bacteria out that makes things spoil. There is lots of info on internet about what to water bath and what to pressure can. I look forward to making pickling peppers this afternoon.

      Thank you Beverly! I am still new to canning. I really want to learn it. It’s a great way to preserve vegetables and fruit. I hope you enjoy the pickled jalapenos. Reminds me I need to go outside and pick more. 🙂 Have a great rest of the weekend!

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great!

Have a great day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
