These easy Pickled Jalapenos are slightly sweet tame peppers perfect for snacking, sandwiches, burgers and adding to recipes. These tasty bites are made with seven ingredients in about fifteen minutes.
If you love peppers but you have a tendency to stray away from jalapenos because of the heat than this recipe is for you. A little bit of sugar really tames these jalapenos. I love to add them to chili, tacos, burritos, enchiladas, nachos, omelettes and sandwiches. The possibilities are endless as they add so much depth and flavor to almost any savory dish. I like to serve them in Barbacoa Tacos, Mexican Omelette and Juicy Lucy.
How do you make Pickled Jalapenos?
Start by adding the water, vinegar, sugar, salt and garlic to a large pot over high heat. Next slice your jalapenos in thin rounds. Make sure you wear gloves and be careful not to touch your face. Discard the stem end of the jalapenos. Then dice the onion into bite size pieces.
Bring the pot to a low boil and stir in your jalapenos and onions. Then remove from the heat. Let sit for about ten to fifteen minutes. Using tongs remove the peppers from the pot and place in canning jars. Now pour the pickling solution over the peppers, cover and refrigerate until needed.

- When working with jalapenos wear gloves and do not touch your face. Wash up thoroughly after finishing.
- If you are a garlic fanatic increase the crushed cloves to 3-4.
