Pickled chili peppers from Put 'em Up!: A Comprehensive Home Preserving Guide for the Creative Cook, from Drying and Freezing to Canning and Pickling by Sherri Brooks Vinton

  • distilled vinegar
    "Distilled vinegar, also known as virgin vinegar, can be made from just about any vinegar – for instance: rice, malt, wine, fruit, balsamic, apple cider, kiwifruit, rice, coconut, palm, cane, raisin, date, beer, honey, kombucha, and much more. As its name suggests, this vinegar is distilled from ethanol. ‘Distilled’ plainly means that the liquid component is separated from the base mixture. This produces a colorless solution with 5-8% acetic acid in the water – relatively weaker than white or spirit vinegar." http://www.differencebetween.net/object/comparisons-of-food-items/difference-between-white-and-distilled-vinegar/

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I used roughly 8 oz of jalapenos (1/4 recipe) and made 1/3 of the brine for 2 x 250 mL jars and had JUST enough brine. I'll update this when we actually open a jar :)

    This is my favorite brine for pickling jalapeños. The little bit of sugar is delicious. Best to process for only five minutes, to avoid mushiness.
