I needed something to do with all the jalapenos I currently have bursting out of my garden. So I thought Why not pickle some? I had more older jalapenos that had turned red already so I thought it made it look more festive to mix them together.
The jalapenos will turn from the bright green color to that ugly green after they bathe in the vinegar mixture for a few days. The garlic is a nice accent to the flavor, but don't be afraid if it turns a hue of blue from the vinegar. Some of mine did and others didn't, it has something to do with enzymes being released, that reacts with the vinegar.
They will keep fine in the refrigerator for about 6 months that is if they last that long. I add them to my Beef and Bean Taco Cups , nachos, hot dogs, chili, burgers. I mean the list is endless really. My hubby just eats them right out of the jar. You definitely need to give these a try, you will be surprised at just how easy they really are to make.

I've never added any dill to this recipe. You could try it
Can I add fresh dill to this? If so, how much?
