Pickled Jalapeños

Ingredients

• 1 cup vinegar
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed
• 1 pound jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced

Steps

1. Put the vinegar, water, sugar, salt and garlic in a pot over medium-high heat. Stir as it comes to a boil, dissolving the sugar and salt, then take off the heat.
2. Add the jalapeño peppers and stir. Leave for about 15 minutes to cool slightly.
3. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to put the peppers into a large sterilized Mason jar. Add enough pickling liquid to cover them. Cool to room temperature for about 30 minutes, then seal and refrigerate the pickles.
