Ingredients

  • 10 jalapenos
  • 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cup white sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Wearing plastic gloves, slice the stems off of the jalapenos. Core out the seeds. Slice each pepper into 1/8 to 1/4-inch slices.
  • Stir the remaining ingredients together in a large saucepot. Heat over high heat stirring occasionally for about 7 minutes or until it comes to a frothy boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the jalapenos, and simmer for 8 more minutes, stirring occasionally. They will start to change color. That's a good thing.
  • Remove the peppers from the syrup using a slotted spoon. Spoon into a large glass jar.
  • Bring the syrup to a boil and boil 5 more minutes. Carefully pour the syrup into the jar of peppers.
  • Allow to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, and then refrigerate.
