Canning Jalapenos

Preserving jalapeños is not just about storing them; it’s about infusing them with flavor and enjoying their crunch even in the middle of winter. Below, you’ll find a simple yet effective recipe to guide you through the canning process.

Canned Jalapenos ### Ingredients:

2 pounds of fresh jalapeños
4 cups of white vinegar
4 cups of water
1/4 cup of salt
3 cloves of garlic, peeled
Optional: spices such as oregano or bay leaves for extra flavor

Instructions:

Begin by thoroughly washing your jalapeños. If you prefer milder peppers, consider removing some of the seeds and membranes, as these parts hold the most heat.
In a large pot, combine the vinegar, water, and salt, then bring it to a boil over medium heat. Stir until the salt dissolves.
While the brine is heating, pack the jalapeños tightly in sterilized jars. You can also add a clove of garlic and any spices you wish to incorporate.
Once the brine is boiling, carefully pour it into each jar, covering the jalapeños completely, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
Seal the jars with their lids and process in a boiling water bath for 10 to 15 minutes. Make sure the jars are fully submerged in boiling water.
After processing, remove the jars and let them cool completely on a clean towel or cooling rack. You should hear the satisfying “pop” of the lids sealing!
Once cool, check the seals. If the lids are slightly depressed in the center, congratulations! Your jalapeños are preserved. Store them in a cool, dark place and let them sit for at least two weeks to allow the flavors to meld.

Now you have delicious, home-canned jalapeños ready to enhance your favorite recipes! Enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you’ve created something remarkable right in your own kitchen.
