PICKLED JALAPENOS
I love pickled jalapenos. They're an absolute necessity for all things Mexican, most especially nachos, and I all too often find myself simply plucking them out of the jar and eating them right off the fork. I'm a glutton for punishment that way. But, hey, when the peppers are popping, there's no reason not to can a bunch of your own. It's easy, they're tasty, and you can tinker a bit with the seasoning to suit your tastes. For example, a touch of honey or sugar helps temper the natural fire of the chiles' capsaicin while allowing the natural sweetness of the pepper to shine through. Or, leave it out for the full-force burn. Pro tip: Be sure to wear latex or plastic gloves while handling hot peppers. If you don't, there is approximately 100-percent chance you will promptly touch your eyes (or other mucous membranes, ahem). Trust me, it's not a pleasant experience.

Steps:
- Prepare the jars and lids:
- Wash all jars and lids thoroughly with soap and water and rinse well. Fill your canner with enough water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch and bring to a simmer. Using a pair of canning tongs, lower the jars in gently, tilting them to fill with the hot water. In a small saucepan, keep some water warm but not boiling; place the lids in the water. Have an additional kettle of water on to boil.
- Prepare the brine.
- Add vinegar, water, salt and garlic and peppercorns or honey (if using), to a medium saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to keep at a simmer.
- Prepare the jalapenos.
- Wearing latex or plastic gloves, slice the jalapenos into 1/4-inch rings. Add the rings to the brine and bring back to the boil.
- Fill and close the jars.
- Using canning tongs, remove the jars from the canner, carefully pouring the water back into the canner. Set next to the jalapenos in the saucepan. Turn the heat under the canner to high. Use a ladle to pour the jalapenos into the jars through a canning funnel, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top. Run a clean chopstick around the inside of the jar to dislodge any trapped air. Wipe the rims of the jars with a damp paper towel. Place the lids on, and screw on the rings until just finger-tight.
- Seal the jars.
- Using canning tongs, gently transfer the jars to the canner, taking care to keep them vertical. When all the jars are in the canner, there should be at least 1 inch of water covering them; if you need more, add water from the kettle until the jars are sufficiently covered. Bring the water to a full rolling boil, and process for 5 minutes.
- Remove and cool.
- Using canning tongs, gently remove the jars from the canner and transfer them to a kitchen towel or cooling rack, again keeping them vertical. Do not set hot jars directly onto cool counter surfaces. Leave to cool, undisturbed, for at least 12 hours. If any of the jars do not seal when cool, reprocess using the method above, or refrigerate and use immediately.
- Label and store.
- Add a label to the lid or side of your jar, noting the date it was canned. Remove the rings and store jars in a cool, dark place for up to one year. Refrigerate after opening. Properly-handled sterilized equipment will keep canned foods in good condition for years. Sterilizing jars is the first step of preserving foods.

EASY PICKLED JALAPENOS
Homemade pickled jalapenos are a treat to have on hand for chilis, tacos, salads and sandwiches. Pouring hot brine over them instead of boiling them gives them a pleasant fresh crispness instead of the soft texture of the store-bought variety.

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.
CRISP PICKLED GREEN BEANS
This recipe is from my Grandmother's cookbook she made to pass to all her grandchildren. They come out very, very crisp with a wonderful dill flavor. The red pepper flakes give them a nice punch. They are much better than the recipes that call for cooking the beans first.

Steps:
- Sterilize 6 (1/2 pint) jars with rings and lids and keep hot. Trim green beans to 1/4 inch shorter than your jars.
- In a large saucepan, stir together the vinegar, water and salt. Add garlic and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. In each jar, place 1 sprig of dill and 1/8 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Pack green beans into the jars so they are standing on their ends.
- Ladle the boiling brine into the jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the tops. Discard garlic. Seal jars with lids and rings. Place in a hot water bath so they are covered by 1 inch of water. Simmer but do not boil for 10 minutes to process. Cool to room temperature. Test jars for a good seal by pressing on the center of the lid. It should not move. Refrigerate any jars that do not seal properly. Let pickles ferment for 2 to 3 weeks before eating.

JALAPENO GREEN BEANS
