Jalapeno Canning Recipes Olive Oil

At the beginning of last fall, the jalapeño plants in my garden went into overdrive, and I found myself with a whole bunch of peppers all at one time. Now, I love jalapeños. I put slices of them, seeds and all, on sandwiches, tacos, burritos, and burgers all summer long. I love the heat and the crunch that the fresh green peppers provide. But there was no way my family and I could eat this many peppers before they went bad, so I started looking into ways to preserve them.

I’ve never much cared for the pickled jalapeños you can buy in stores; they taste like they look: drab and limp. So I didn’t have much hope that I’d really enjoy jalapeños that I’d pickled myself, but I was willing to give it a try rather than let my harvest go to waste. I’m so glad I did! They turned out crisp, spicy, and delicious, and my family enjoyed them until about mid-winter when they ran out.

I didn’t post the recipe then, reasoning that most people weren’t coming into a crop of jalapeños in October. I decided to wait until my next jalapeño harvest, and in anticipation of that, I planted about three times as many jalapeño plants than usual, knowing that I could pickle any surplus. The first harvest came in this week, and after setting aside a few to use fresh, I quick-pickled the others. (A little red Cajun Belle pepper ripened at the same time, so I threw it in for color.)

The most time-consuming part of this recipe is the slicing of the peppers. I’ve learned my lesson and now use disposable gloves that I bought in a Korean grocery store to handle the jalapeños.

I’ve also learned to take them off right after handling the peppers because eyes don’t care whether you touch them with jalapeño-covered fingers or gloves. Either way, it’s going to burn! So chop the peppers, use your gloved hands to fill the jars, and then throw the gloves away. [/public service announcement]

My recipe differs only slightly from others you can find on the internet. Mainly, I add some dried red pepper flakes to keep the peppers spicy because pickling can sap some of the spiciness out of jalapeños.

Also, I don’t use sugar because I don’t think it’s needed, but if you want your peppers to be a little less vinegary, feel free to add a couple of teaspoons. Finally, I like the flavor that garlic adds to jalapeños, so I use a little more than most people and I slice them to allow more of the flavor to come out. I also like to eat the pieces of garlic, so this way there’s more of them.

I like my jalapeños HOT, so I add red pepper flakes to keep them that way after pickling. But for a milder flavor, skip the red pepper and add 2 teaspoons of sugar to the vinegar mixture. You can also try removing some of the hot seeds by covering the jalapeño slices with water and agitating them. Be sure to let them dry before putting them into jars.You'll end up with 4 quart-sized jars to dole out (or 8 pint-sized jars) and your peeps will be blown awayby the difference between your homemade batch and store-bought options.

I used quart-sized Mason jars for this batch of pickled heaven, but feel free to store them in smaller jars -- just keep in mind that glass is the best choice of storage for this vinegar-based brine.

Don't forget that it's always best to use caution when handling hot chile peppers -- especially if you're handling four pounds worth!

There's lots of chopping involved, so if you're sensitive to spicy foods you can always consider wearing gloves. I usually skip gloves knowing that I won't touch my eyes or nose until I wash my hands after the big chop.

And if you're convinced your massive pile of sliced jalapenos will never fit in four measly jars, well...you're right on track! Once they rest in some hot liquid they'll take up less space.

Pickled Jalapeño Peppers (quick Or Canned)

I used a 5-quart saucepan to simmer these beauties, but it was a tight fit! Feel free to chop everything up and then cook them off in two batches if you're using a smaller pan.

Start by slicing up 2 onions and roughly chopping 15-20 garlic cloves (approx. 1 head of garlic). Add these to the saucepan along with a glug of oil.

I usually give it all a quick crush in the molcajete, but keep in mind that you can always use powdered spices and get an equally good result.

I find it easiest to use tongs to fill up the jars with the jalapenos, and then use a measuring cup to pour the brine in at the end.

You should have plenty of brine so be sure to fill the jars to the top -- that's the key to giving the jalapenos their flavor!

You can take a taste now for a preview, but they won't have their full flavor until they rest overnight in the brine.

They absorb loads of flavor from the brine and I eat them straight from the jar. But of course, they will also work great on your tacos, enchiladas, eggs, and even cheeseburgers.

Once they've brined overnight all that's left to do is hand them out to your friends and family. Just don't forget to keep some for yourself 🙂

This recipe is perfect if you want to give away some Pickled Jalapenos to your friends and family!  Start with 4 lbs. of jalapenos and you'll get four quarts of pickled heaven. (Note: these instructions are not designed for long-term canning.)

Note: these instructions are not designed for long-term canning.   They keep for weeks at a time in the fridge and I haven't tried any longer term preserving with them.

Kosher, sea or pickling salts are the most common salts used for pickling vegetables. Iodized salt isn't recommended as sometimes additives will affect the brine.

Tiny Jar Of Pickled Serranos

A few simple ingredients is all it takes to make these Hot Peppers in Oil aka the condiment you will not be sorry for making! Let’s get into ’em down below.

I store my hot peppers in an airtight mason jar and ensure the lid is completely fastened after each use. I keep it in the fridge and only take it out when needed. You may notice that the Extra Virgin Olive Oil hardens or stiffens up when cold and that’s okay! It’s completely normal! Just take the jar out 15-20 minutes before you want to use it to soften up the oil a bit, then, use normally.

Always remember to top up the jar with fresh olive oil and gently push the peppers down with a fork after each use to ensure that all the peppers are completely submerged in the oil at all times.
