It’s a cowboy candy kind of day. The brine is
2 cups apple cider vinegar, 6 cups sugar, 1/2tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp celery seed, 3 cloves chopped garlic, 1 tsp cayenne. Mix the brine and bring to a simmer, let simmer for 5 minutes. Add 3 lbs sliced jalapenos and return to boil for another 5 minutes. Spoon jalapenos into hot jars to about the bottom threads of jars, top with brine to 1/2 inch headspace and process in water bath. 15 minutes for pints, 10 minutes for half pints.
3lbs jalapenos makes about 4 pints, or 8 half pints.
The extra brine makes an amazing bbq sauce! Recipe to follow shortly.
