How to Make Homemade Jalapenos (4 Steps)

Homemade jalapeno pickle peppers are a spicy and flavorful treat that can be prepared in your own kitchen in a matter of days. After pickling, jalapenos can be used to add flavor to soups, as a condiment, as a dressing on burgers and sandwiches, or just as a side dish. Jalapenos are wonderful with cream cheese. Pickled jalapenos will keep for several months after preparation.

Things You'll Need

  • Pickling jars
  • Jalapeno peppers
  • Vinegar
  • Sugar
  • Water
  • Spices and salts
  • A large pot

Instructions

  1. Obtain fresh jalapeno peppers from a local store, or grow them yourself.

  2. Wash several jalapeno peppers being careful not to damage the stems. Using a toothpick or similar instrument, pierce the outer skin of each pepper in several places to allow better penetration of the pickling solution.

  3. Combine vinegar, water, sugar, and pickling spices in a large pot and boil it. Pickling spice mix can be purchased commercially or can be homemade from black peppercorns, garlic cloves, and salt.

  4. Place the jalapenos in a pickling jar and fill the jar with the hot pickling brine. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate it. It will take about a week for the jalapenos to soften and pickle properly. Gently shaking the jar on occasion is recommended to prevent settling.
