This is another quick and easy recipe to feed your jalapeno love. The best part is that you know exactly what goes into it, and it is ready in only 15 minutes! Unfortunately so many pickled products out there, including jalapenos, have inflammatory dye and preservatives in them, which have been proven to cause health issues. Take a look at most pickles and pickled products in jars on the aisle of your grocery store and you will find that those innocuous-looking hot peppers and other items are loaded with awful stuff. I made this batch from jalapenos in the garden, and they came out amazing. Use them in recipes or eat them straight from the jar! Either way, if you are a fan of jalapenos, you will love your own homemade goods–promise!
These are ready to eat as soon as the brine cools, and can be kept in your fridge for a few months after.
Enjoy!
