How to Make Pimentos Pickled Peppers

  1. Wash and thinly slice the pickling peppers and jalapeños (if using).
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, peppercorns, mustard seeds, and garlic powder.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
  4. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the sliced peppers and jalapeños.
  5. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender-crisp and the liquid has slightly reduced.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  7. Pack the peppers and the pickling liquid into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
  8. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, seal, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. Enjoy!
