Quick 10 Minute Pickled Jalapeno
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 1 jar
Author Layla
Ingredients:
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
2 cloves garlic smashed
2 tablespoons sugar*
1 tablespoon salt
7-8 jalapeno peppers thinly sliced
Instructions:
Combine the vinegar, water, garlic, sugar, and salt in a medium pot and bring to a boil. Add jalapeno slices, stir, and remove from heat.
Let sit for at least 8 minutes then use tongs to remove the jalapenos from the pot to a jar; cover with the brining liquid to fill the jar.
Store in the fridge for up to two months.
*Notes: I used 2 tablespoons sugar in the recipe for a spicy/mild flavor. For spicier jalapenos use 1 tablespoon sugar and for less spicy jalapenos use 3 tablespoons sugar. The more sugar you use, the more heat will be absorbed.

Quick Mixed Vegetable Pickles
Yield: 2 quarts
Ingredients:
2 quart mason jars with lids
2 Kirby cucumbers
5 carrots
1/2 small head of cauliflower
12 small sweet peppers (or several small bell peppers)
2 Serrano peppers (optional)
6 cloves garlic
16 sprigs fresh dill
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
2 tablespoons peppercorns
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 ⅓ cup white vinegar
2 cups water
Instructions:
Wash two mason jars and lids in hot soapy water, rinse and let air dry.
Quarter the cucumbers lengthwise into four slices each. Peel the carrots, and cut them into sticks. Cut the cauliflower into florets. If using small bell peppers, cut them into strips.
Tightly pack the cut vegetables into the two mason jars along with the following ingredients divided between the two jars: 2 whole Serrano peppers (optional), 6 whole garlic cloves, fresh dill, 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, and 2 tablespoons peppercorns.
In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons sugar, 3 tablespoons kosher salt, 1 ⅓ cup white vinegar, and 2 cups water.
Once boiling, pour the brine mixture into the jars. Tap the jars on the counter to release any air bubbles and top off the jar with extra water if any vegetables are exposed.
Place the lids on the jars and screw on the rings until they are tight. Leave the jars in the refrigerator for 24 hours before tasting. The pickles last up to one month refrigerated.
