Pickled Jalapeno Peppers
3 C Water
9 C Distilled White Vinegar
2 TBS Kosher Salt
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
8 cloves of Garlic, peeled and left whole
6 Lbs. Jalapeno Peppers-green & red (that’s about 180 small peppers or 60 large)
4 Quart Jars with lids and rings
Canner & canning utensils
Gloves
Slice the jalapeno’s to be about 1/4-1/2″ thick.
Peel the garlic gloves and apply slight pressure to each clove with your thumb. Don’t smash them to smithereens-this is just to release a bit of flavor.
Now for the brine: Pour the 3 cups of water into a large stainless steel pot. Place the pot on a large burner on the stove.
Add the 9 cups of vinegar to the pot, Add the 2 TBS of Kosher salt, Finally, add the 1 1/2 tsp of ground Cumin.
Whisk all of these ingredients together and bring to a boil. Stir until the Kosher salt dissolves completely.
While you are waiting on the brine to boil, remove the hot jars, lids and rings with tongs.
Also, while you are waiting on the brine to boil, fill the canner up with water, about 3/4 of the way up. Turn the burner on high, set the canner lid loosely on top-don’t screw the lid on as pictured here!.
Put a clove of garlic (or two if the clove is small) in the bottom of the sterilized jars.
While wearing gloves, pack each jar completely full of jalapeno pepper slices.
Place the canning funnel over each jar. Fill the jar full of the hot brine, leaving a 1/4″ at the top of the jar.
Use a knife to remove any air bubbles.
Remove any excess liquid from the mouth of the jar with a clean cloth.
Place the lids on the jars and hand tighten the rings.
Using tongs, place the jars inside of your water bath canner.
Place the canner lid and process the jars for 10 to 15 minutes.
