Pickled Jalapeno Peppers (1 quart jar)

Jalapeno peppers (about 2 pounds)

1 cup vinegar

3/4 cup water

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon mixed pickling spices

2 carrot slices, 2 celery sticks and a garlic clove (optional)

Caution: Always wear gloves or coat hands with fat when working

with hot peppers. They may cause burns.

Wash peppers and pack into a hot jar. Add carrot slices, celery

sticks and a clove of garlic if desired. Pack tightly, leaving

2-inch headspace. Combine vinegar, water salt and pickling

spices. Heat to boiling. Pour boiling hot liquid over peppers to

two inches from top of jar top. Remove air bubbles by running a

plastic knife or rubber spatula down the side of the jar,

rotating, releasing trapped air between the peppers.Wipe jar

rims clean. Adjust prepared two piece canning lid. Process jar

in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Using jar lifters,

remove to a draft free area, and allow to cool. Check the seal.

Label the container.
