Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 jalapenos, sliced
- 1 large red onion, sliced into half-moons
Liquid Base:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) apple cider vinegar
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) sugar
- 1 teaspoon (6 grams) kosher salt
Instructions
- Gather a clean 16-ounce (473 milliliters) wide-mouth mason jar and carefully layer the thinly sliced red onions and jalapeño peppers inside, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Combine apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and water in a small saucepan, positioning it over medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously until the sugar and salt completely dissolve and the liquid reaches a rolling boil.
- Carefully pour the steaming hot pickling liquid directly over the prepared onions and jalapeños, ensuring all vegetables are completely submerged. Gently tap the jar to release any trapped air bubbles.
- Seal the jar tightly with its lid, using a clean kitchen towel to protect your hands from the heat. Allow the jar to rest at room temperature until the contents cool down naturally.
- Once the jar has reached room temperature, transfer it to the refrigerator. Let the pickled vegetables marinate for a minimum of one hour, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify. The longer they sit, the more robust the pickling flavor will become.
