There was a time in the not too distant past when I wouldn’t eat peppers at all.
I’m constantly amused by my developing tastes. As I get older, I always retry things that I don’t think that I will like. Turns out, every now and then, I’ll end up loving something that I used to loathe. With peppers, it was a texture thing. I have always loved spicy things, but I didn’t like that crunch when I’d hit a pepper in my sandwich or whatever item it happened to be.
Now, I’m a convert. One day I just said, “It’s like a really spicy pickle!” and then I was sold. I’m going to give partial credit to Paseo’s in Seattle, which has, according to the show, “Best Food Ever”, the second best sandwich in the US, which is not too shabby. They have this pulled pork Caribbean sandwich with garlic aoli and pickled jalapeños that Oh My… I need to stop talking about this before I start drooling.
Anyways, like I said, I’m a convert. Lately I’ve been putting jalapeños on EVERYTHING. They grace my sandwiches, tacos, eggs and more. I saw a recipe recently for quick pickles and thought, maybe I should do my own jalapeños. So, for the holidays, I made a ton of tiny containers of pickled jalapeños for family and friends. They were delicious and I will be making them again soon, since I just finished off my final container.
The peppers are hot, spicy, a little garlicky, and all around wonderful for sandwiches, tacos, nachos, or just out of the jar. Just be sure to have a drink on hand because they are hot!
Pickled Jalapeños
- 4 cups assorted colors of jalapeños
- 1 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons black peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons coriander seeds
Preparation
Cut large chiles into 1/4 inch rings. Pack all chiles into clean mason jars. I used small, 4 oz. jelly jars to give as gifts, but you could just use two big jars and keep them all for yourself.
Bring vinegar, all remaining ingredients, and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour hot brine over peppers; close jar. Let cool, then refrigerate. Give them a day or two to really soak up the flavors, before you get in and really get down on these bad mamma jammas. Because these aren’t truly canned, serve within 1-2 months.

Throughout this great design of things you actually get an A for effort and hard work. Where you actually lost everybody was in the facts. As people say, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be more correct right here. Having said that, allow me reveal to you just what did do the job. Your authoring is certainly rather powerful which is probably why I am taking an effort to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, while I can easily see the leaps in logic you come up with, I am definitely not convinced of exactly how you seem to unite the ideas which in turn help to make the conclusion. For the moment I shall subscribe to your position but wish in the near future you connect the dots better.

I do like the way you have framed this particular difficulty and it does give me personally some fodder for thought. However, through what precisely I have witnessed, I just wish when the actual commentary stack on that individuals stay on issue and don’t embark on a tirade of some other news du jour. Anyway, thank you for this fantastic piece and while I can not really go along with it in totality, I regard your point of view.

I precisely desired to say thanks once more. I’m not certain what I would have tried without the actual creative ideas shared by you on my industry. Certainly was a very horrifying condition for me, but noticing a new specialised tactic you solved the issue took me to weep over happiness. Extremely happier for this support and thus wish you really know what a powerful job that you’re carrying out teaching others by way of a site. I know that you haven’t come across all of us.
