2nd time I made this, not sure if I posted it before.

Picked 2 lbs or so of japs from the garden, rinsed, sliced, and prepared the brine consisting of water, white distilled vinegar, and sugar. Boil the liquids, add the japs, bring back to a boil. Spoon the peppers into jars, add the liquid, and keep in the fridge for about a week.

Great on crackers with cheese, sandwiches, salads, etc...

One of my favorite things to eat. I do those as well and just love them.

I think I have some jap points!

Oh no no no ...I can't handle sweet pickles at all...But I got points for a job well done...It's always a good day when ya harvest and preserve the blessings from the garden

Craig, they are a slightly sweet heat, more heat than sweet. Ya gotta try them, not like a sweet pickle.

OK guys. I am about to enter the virgin canning process. I really want to experiment with peppers and salsa and such before I get into more complex things. So...where do you think I should start? I post this here because I have trusted your commentary for a while.

By the way, those peppers look great. I'm sure they would make Craig cry since he don't like no heat.....

Love pickled Jalapeņos! Keep a jar in the fridge. My FIL makes them, sounds aboot like Jims recipe/process. Excellent addition to several things. Nice job

Exactly Pete. And the best part, they keep forever, still have some left from last year and had some this past week with crackers and cheese. Had to make more..

Those look great....Does the sugar tame them down some?

The recipe I had mentioned that the longer you cook them the tamer they'll become. After they came to e re-boil, I waited like 30 seconds and spooned them into jars. Honestly, they are not that hot.

We love pickled Jalapeņos! We always have a jar in the fridge. That's a similar recipe to the ones we can. Ours are tart and have plenty heat to them.
Nicely done
