JALAPEñO PICKLES



Jalapeño Pickles image

These medium-spicy pickles, versions of which can be found throughout Mexico and Central America, make a perfect garnish for burgers, tacos or sandwiches, or they may be served with drinks. They are often made only with jalapeños, plus a little onion and carrot. Jalapeños vary in heat: Some are very spicy, some not. If you wish to make the pickles spicier, add a few serrano chiles, split lengthwise.

Categories     easy, pickles

Time 30m

Yield About 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
3 teaspoons kosher salt
2 bay leaves
3 whole cloves
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
2 allspice berries
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
3 medium carrots, sliced at an angle, about 1/2-inch thick (about 2 cups)
6 large jalapeños, sliced crosswise, about 3/8-inch thick (about 3 cups)
1 small head garlic, broken into unpeeled pieces
1 large onion, cut in wedges or rings
1/2 medium cauliflower, cut into small florets (about 3 cups)
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Put vinegar, 3 cups water and salt in a large nonreactive pot over medium-high heat. Add bay leaves, cloves, coriander, allspice and red-pepper flakes, and bring to a simmer.
  • Add carrots, jalapeño, garlic, onion and cauliflower, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, leaving vegetables slightly firm. Turn off heat and add oregano. Let vegetables cool in cooking liquid to room temperature. They are ready to serve immediately, but gain flavor as they age. It's better if you can wait at least a day or two. Store with juices in sanitized jars or plastic containers, and refrigerate for up to 1 month.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, firm jalapeños that are evenly green or red in color. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Wash and dry the peppers thoroughly: This will help to remove any dirt or debris that could contaminate the pickles.
  • Wear gloves when handling the peppers: Jalapeños can be quite spicy, so it's important to protect your hands when cutting or seeding them. Gloves will also help to prevent the oils from the peppers from irritating your skin.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the peppers: A sharp knife will help to create clean, even cuts and prevent the peppers from bruising.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers: This will help to reduce the heat of the pickles, but it's not necessary if you like spicy pickles.
  • Use a variety of pickling liquids: There are many different pickling liquids that you can use for jalapeño pickles, including vinegar, brine, and oil. Each type of liquid will give the pickles a different flavor and texture.
  • Store the pickles in a cool, dark place: This will help to preserve the pickles and prevent them from spoiling.

Conclusion:

Jalapeño pickles are a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. They're perfect for adding a spicy kick to sandwiches, salads, tacos, and burgers. They can also be used as a garnish or as an ingredient in recipes. With so many different recipes available, there's sure to be a jalapeño pickle recipe that you'll love.
