  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Sterilize the jars and lids by placing them carefully in a
    medium sized pot of boiling water for at least 15 minutes
  • Use tongs or a jar lifter to remove the jars and lids and place them on a clean towel to dry.
  • Prepare the peppers by slicing them into rings,  filling each jar as you slice them - really pack them in
  • Make the brine by combining the 1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar 1 cup water and 2 teaspoons sea salt, and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until the salt dissolves.1 cup water
  • Pour the prepared brine over the peppers in each jar (should be about ½ cup per jar).
  • Secure the lids tightly on each jar.
  • Bring the water to boil in the same pot that you sterilized the jars in and submerge the 4 covered jars of pepper slices and brine.  The jars should be covered about half to the top with water.
  • Let the jars boil in the pot for about 20 minutes over medium to high heat.
  • Carefully remove the jars from the water with tongs and set aside on a towel to cool.
  • As the jars cool, listen for the lids to snap indicating a secure seal -- if the jar doesn't seal, store in the refrigerator for up to a month
  • Wait a least a week before opening your peppers and  keep them refrigerated after opening.

Notes

  • Add sliced chili or banana peppers to the jalapeno slices for a jar of mixed pickled peppers
  • Add a clove or two of garlic to each jar for a garlicky flavor
