We just pickled some jalepeno peppers from the garden. Jalepenos seemed to have a bumper crop here in Georgia! I found a recipe on the internet that used vinegar, kosher salt, water, garlic and peppers. It was yummy! I used some jars we happened to have on hand. After completing the recipe you keep them in the fridge to use. There are also recipes that involved using canning jars and putting the jars in a water bath to process and seal. Since my husband is a health inspector (and he actually did these!) I feel confident regarding their safety!
