Description
A bold jar of sweet heat and garlicky goodness. These glossy, oil-marinated jalapeños are gently pickled and infused with herbs and chili flakes for a crave-worthy condiment.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ lbs fresh jalapeños, sliced into rings
- ¾ cup white vinegar
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4–5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 cup olive oil (or neutral oil for a milder flavor)
Instructions
- Wash the jalapeños thoroughly and slice them into even rings. Set aside. (5 minutes)
- In a saucepan, combine white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves. (5 minutes)
- Add the sliced jalapeños to the hot brine and simmer briefly until slightly softened but still crisp. (2–3 minutes)
- Remove from heat and allow the jalapeños to cool in the brine. This helps balance heat and acidity. (15 minutes)
- Drain the peppers without rinsing. Transfer to a clean jar and add garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano, and parsley. (5 minutes)
- Pour olive oil over the peppers until fully submerged. Seal the jar tightly. (2 minutes)
- Refrigerate to marinate and develop flavor before serving. (24–48 hours)
Notes
- Great for sandwiches, burgers, tacos, charcuterie boards, or snacking straight from the jar.
