Pickled Jalapeños

About This Recipe

Homemade pickled jalapeños add zippy flavor to tacos, burgers, and more! This no-canning quick pickle recipe takes just minutes to make.

Ingredients

• 10 jalapeños (thinly sliced (about 1 pound))
• 2 whole garlic cloves (peeled)
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 1/2 cup rice vinegar (or additional white vinegar)
• 1 cup water
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 bay leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds (optional)
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt

Instructions

1. Stuff the jalapeños and garlic into 1 (1-liter) jar or divide between 2 (16-ounce) jars.
2. To a small saucepan, add the white vinegar, rice vinegar, water, sugar, bay leaves, coriander seeds, and salt. Simmer over medium heat until the sugar and salt dissolve, stirring periodically (about 5 minutes). Pour into the jar(s) with the jalapenos (I like to place the jars in the sink to catch drips). If the jalapenos aren't completely submerged in liquid, add water to cover.
3. Let the liquid cool to room temperature. Seal the jars and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour or up to 2 weeks. The longer they sit, the more mellow they will become. Use on everything!
