How to Make Jalapeno Vinegar

  1. Slice approximately 1 inch from the bottom of each jalapeno pepper, creating a small opening. Place 8-10 jalapeno peppers, 4 cloves of garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt into a clean one-pint jar.
  2. In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of white vinegar (or your vinegar of choice) to a rolling boil. Carefully pour the boiling vinegar into the jar, ensuring all the jalapenos and other ingredients are fully submerged.
  3. Allow the jar to cool completely to room temperature (approximately 1 hour).
  4. Securely cover the jar and store it in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight.
  5. Your delicious jalapeno vinegar will be ready to use after 24 hours. It will continue to improve in flavor over time and should remain fresh for approximately 8 months.
