Learn how to make delicious, crunchy pickled jalapeno rings at home. These are perfect for sandwiches, burgers, or as a spicy snack. This recipe is water-bath safe for easy canning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups white vinegar
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pickling salt
  • 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon dill seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
  • 1 pound fresh jalapeno peppers, sliced into 1/4-inch rings

Instructions

  1. Wash and slice the jalapeno peppers into 1/4-inch rings. Remove stems.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, pickling salt, peppercorns, mustard seeds, dill seeds, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Pack the jalapeno rings tightly into clean canning jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
  6. Carefully ladle the hot pickling liquid over the jalapenos, ensuring they are fully submerged and maintaining the 1/2 inch headspace.
  7. Remove any air bubbles by sliding a non-metallic utensil around the inside of the jar.
  8. Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth.
  9. Place the lids on the jars and screw on the bands fingertip tight.
  10. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust for altitude if necessary).
  11. Carefully remove the jars from the canner and let them cool on a towel-lined counter for 12-24 hours. Check seals before storing.

Notes

  • For a sweeter version, increase sugar to 1/2 cup (this is often called Cowboy Candy).
  • Adjust red pepper flakes for your desired spice level.
  • Ensure your canning jars and lids are clean and sterilized.
  • Allow pickles to cure for at least 24 hours before eating for best flavor.
