Ingredients
- 4 quarts jalapeños , (sliced into 1/8-inch rings)
- 1 gallon water, (cold)
- 1 1/2 cups salt, (ground fine)
- 2 1/2 quarts white distilled vinegar
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup cane sugar
- 3 cloves garlic
Instructions
- Slice the jalapeños into 1/8-inch rings and add them to a 5-quart mixing bowl.
- Prepare the saltwater by dissolving 1.5 cups of salt in 1 gallon of cold water. To speed up the process, mix 1 part ice with 3 parts cool water. Pour this over the sliced jalapeños and refrigerate for 8-12 hours (up to a maximum of 18 hours).
- While the jalapeños are marinating, bring the brine ingredients to a boil and then allow it to cool. Prepare the jars as suggested in the notes.
- After the marinating period, drain the jalapeños from the saltwater (do not rinse) and pack them into pint jars, ensuring to leave a 1-inch headspace. Pour the cooled brine over the jalapeños until it's just at the neck of the jars. Cap the jars tightly without over-tightening them.
- Submerge the jars in a canner or a large pot filled with lukewarm water, making sure there's 1 inch of water above the jars. Bring the water to a boil and set a timer for 10 minutes. You may reduce the heat to medium-high once boiling. After 10 minutes, promptly remove the jars and allow them to cool. Check the seals after 24 hours.

Ensure to wear gloves when handling jalapeños to avoid skin irritation.
The longer you let the jalapeños sit in the brine, the more flavorful they will become.
Check that the jars are sealed properly before storing them for long-term.
