Pickled Jalapeno Recipe

vidalia1

Mint Tulip has been busy the last two days. After I cored and sliced up 7#'s of jalapenos, Ginny has been busy making pickled jalapenos. Here are some pictures and the recipe:



Oh and she put up some maters...



Here is the recipe we use to make Sweet Cucumber Chips...Ginny substituted the jalapenos for cucumbers.

Ingredients:

7 #'s of jalapenos or pickling cucumbers
2-4 sliced onions (not in cucumber recipe)
2 cups of pickling lime
2 gal water

Mix lime and water thoroughly then pour over jalapenos & onions...soak for 24 hrs...then drain & wash off lime...cover with fresh water and rinse...change the water every hour for 3 hours...then drain

In a seperate container mix 5 lbs of sugar, 7 cups of apple cider vinegar, 1 cup water, 1 small box of whole pickling spice (tied in a bag), 4 sticks of cinnamon, 2 tsp salt, bring to a boil and pour over jalapenos and let stand overnight. Then cook for 35 minutes at a soft boil. Wash the jars and put pickled jalapenos in jars & seal. Seal jars & turn jars upside down to set seal. Let sit for 24 hours. Then eat & enjoy.

The jars seal up from the heat from the cooked jalapenos. Our pickles have lasted at least 6 months but they don't last longer because we eat them. The jalapenos last even less time.

Will the recipe work with okra?

This a sweet recipe so I am not sure about eating sweet okra. I have eaten pickled okra before but it has always been as a dill recipe...
sweet okra...I don't think so.. :S

Oh, I guess I didn't read it close enough! I didn't see the 5 # of sugar! You are right.
