kacilawless
Servings 4 pint jars

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pounds jalapenos
  • 3 cups vinegar (apple cider vinegar or white)
  • 4 cups honey (or sugar)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tsp mustard seeds (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Wash peppers well and slice into rings about 1/4". Set aside.
  • Combine all ingredients besides peppers into a medium/large sauce pan. You want to have enough room for the syrup to rise up. Bring mixture to a boil.
  • Add peppers and reduce heat to low. Simmer peppers in syrup 15 minutes.
  • Carefully remove jars from water bath canner and place onto a towel. I like to use a jar lifter for this step.
  • Ladle hot peppers and syrup into jars. Leave a 1/2 inch headspace.
  • Wipe rims with a clean damp cloth. Place lids and rings on then tighten.
  • Refrigerate for up to 3 months or follow water bath canning instructions below.

Processing

  • Carefully lower jars into water bath canner. Make sure the jars are covered by at least 1" of water. Process 15 minutes, adjust for altitude using chart linked above.
  • Let jars cool fully on a towel before storing.
