These jarred jalapenos are sweet, tangy, and spicy! The chunks of pineapple are super tasty to munch on too. There are so many ways to serve this - on hamburgers or hot dogs, in salads, as an appetizer (we poured it over a brick of cream cheese), or eat them straight out the jar. Easy and fun to make, they'd make a great...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lb fresh jalapenos
1 1/3 c cider vinegar
2 c fresh or canned pineapple without the juice
4 c sugar
4 Tbsp mustard seed

Steps:

  • 1. Slice jalapenos.
  • 2. Mix cider vinegar, sugar, and mustard seed to a low boil. Reduce for 5 minutes to a simmer.
  • 3. Add jalapenos.
  • 4. Simmer for 5 minutes more.
  • 5. Load hot sterilized jars with 4 to 5 chunks of pineapple.
  • 6. Using a slotted spoon add jalapenos first.
  • 7. I drain the liquid and leave the majority of the seeds out of the jars but you can put them in.
  • 8. Add liquid filling the jars leaving a 1/4 headspace.
  • 9. Remove air bubbles with a rubber spatula or chopstick and refill to headspace, if needed.
  • 10. Wipe rims with a wet paper towel.
  • 11. Add hot lids/rings.
  • 12. Place in water bath canner.
  • 13. Process at a full boil for 15 minutes.
  • 14. Note: If you like it even milder then, by all means, split jalapenos in half and take out the seeds and ribs.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but I'm so glad I did! The candy is sweet and tangy, and the pineapple is perfectly balanced. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a little too sweet for me, but I think that's because I used extra-ripe pineapple. Next time, I'll use less ripe pineapple and see if that helps. Overall, though, this was a good recipe and I'm glad I tried it.
