Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 lbs Fresh jalapeno peppers

  • 2 cups Water

  • 6 cups White vinegar (5% acidity)

  • 2 Tablespoons White sugar

  • 2 Tablespoons Kosher salt

  • 1 Tablespoon Onion powder

  • 6 cloves Garlic, peeled & smashed

  • Ground turmeric

  • Calcium chloride (Pickle Crisp)

Directions

  • Remove jalapeno stems and slice peppers into 1/4-inch slices. Remove as much pith and seeds as you can.
  • In a large pot, combine the water, vinegar, Kosher salt, white sugar, and onion powder. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a low simmer until ready to put into the jars.
  • Sanitize jars by simmering in water in the canning pot.
  • Into each sanitized jar, add 1 smashed garlic clove and 1/4 teaspoon of ground turmeric.
  • Pack the jalapeno rings into the jars. Fill up the jars tightly, pressing the peppers down to pack more in. Leave 1/2-inch of headspace at the top of the jar.
  • Add 1/8 teaspoon of calcium chloride to each jar, right on top of the peppers.
  • Ladle hot bring into the jars, making sure to leave that 1/2-inch of headspace.
  • Check the headspace, de-bubble, and wipe the jar rims. Put on the lids and rings.
  • Process in hot water bath canner for 10 minutes (adjust time for high altitude, if necessary).
