My first time pickling jalapeños.

[TruthAloft]

Someone I know said all they do is pour white vinegar into the jars. No water and no heating. He said just put them in the Frig and they will last a couple of months. Sounds easier. Might try that next.

It'll work, but the problem is that using just 5% white vinegar will make them incredibly sour/tart (almost to the point of being inedible).

I decided to just keep boiling with water and vinegar. I did 2 jars today and this time I put a teaspoon of pure natural honey in the pot as it was heating. I am trying the honey instead of using sugar. My goal is to take a little of the heat out of the peppers. I have not tasted it yet. I want to give them a couple of days in the Frig first. For some reason my peppers are really hot this year. I will let you know how they turn out.

FWIW, Pickled jalapenos do not come with the pale color you are used to buying in the super market. If that is what you are comparing them too. The stuff in the stores is a pale dark yellow and pickled at home they stay green. I can eat pickled jalapenos from the store and pickled jalapenos at home are so hot they fry and mouth and my a$$.

Visible you can see the difference. I am not sure if this is where the confusion is coming from. Pickled jalapenos at home are HOT! Cooking reduces that, BUT pickling does not!

I am getting a lot of mine this year turning red. Do the red ones mean they are even hotter?

I think they are actually less hot - they turn red because they are getting ripe - just like a tomato

And if they get too red they can get mushy.

Yea, I have the same thing going on. I found through google FU, that when they turn red, they are less hot and the flavor profile changes as well. I have not tested them though. The wife picked a bunch of the green ones and made pepper jelly.

Exactly. Red peppers are just ripe green peppers.
Both grill beautifully too & add a touch of color to a dish.
Use them pretty much interchangeably.

Never seen this

Come on, man. You can't claim to have a recipe and not post the recipe. I'm certain MDS has rules about this sort of thing.

I picked about 2 dozen peppers yesterday and decided to try pickling them. Here's how I did it. I did 2 (1 quart) ball jars. 1.5 cups of water and 1.5 cups of white vinegar with 1 tablespoon of pink salt. Brought it to a boil. Put 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds in each jar along with 1 teaspoon of Oregano. Chopped up my peppers and put them in the jars then poured the brine in the jars. Sealed them and put them in the Frig. I was told to let them sit there for 2 days before opening. I am excited to see how they taste and if I did a good job. I would love to hear some other good ways and recipes you all are using for your peppers or any advice for my next batch.

Need to try peppers. The last thing we did was daikon Asian style. Rice wine vinegar and some sugar iirc. Also did some pickles too. Recycled claussin pickle brine and new jar.

only thing, when we first tried after only a couple days, it seemed to need longer. The 2nd jar we opened after about a week and a half, 10 days or so… they were a little better. More soaked through and tasty.

weve been talking about trying peppers. Maybe a jar or two, leaning to a taco flavor with the pickling, and putting it on dillas.
