2/3 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 onion, sliced thinly (about 1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
5 large jalapenos, cut into 1/8-inch rounds

Steps:

  • Combine the vinegar, 2/3 cup water, onions, salt, peppercorns and coriander in a small pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Put the jalapenos in a heatproof 1-pint jar and pour the hot pickling mixture over them. Allow them to sit and soak up the flavor for 30 minutes up to overnight-the longer they sit, the more they will soften and absorb flavor. Stored in the refrigerator, they will keep for up to 1 month.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Use fresh, firm jalapeño peppers that are free of blemishes. Small to medium-sized peppers are ideal for pickling, as they have a better flavor and texture than larger peppers.
  • Slice the peppers evenly: This will help them pickle evenly. If you're using a mandoline slicer, be sure to use a cut-resistant glove to protect your hand.
  • Use a clean jar: A clean jar is essential for preventing the growth of bacteria. Wash the jar and lid thoroughly with hot soapy water before using.
  • Pack the peppers tightly: This will help to keep them submerged in the pickling liquid and prevent them from floating to the top of the jar.
  • Use a good quality pickling liquid: The pickling liquid is what gives the pickled jalapeños their flavor. Use a recipe that includes vinegar, water, sugar, and spices.
  • Store the pickled jalapeños in a cool, dark place: This will help them to retain their flavor and quality. Pickled jalapeños can be stored for up to 6 months.
