Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) fresh jalapeño peppers, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1 tsp (6g) kosher salt
- 1 cup (200g) granulated white sugar
- 1 cup (240ml) apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp (5g) garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) turmeric
Instructions:
- Put on nitrile gloves and slice the jalapeños into consistent 1/4-inch rounds.
- Toss the pepper slices with kosher salt in a bowl and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
- Drain the peppers and discard the collected liquid.
- In a large stainless steel saucepan over medium-high heat, combine sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and turmeric.
- Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches a rolling boil.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5–8 minutes until the syrup thickens and becomes glossy.
- Carefully stir the sliced jalapeños into the simmering syrup.
- Cook for 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peppers are translucent and olive-green and the syrup heavily coats them.
- Remove from heat immediately while peppers still retain a slight snap.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer peppers into clean glass jars and pour the remaining concentrated syrup over them until submerged.
- Allow jars to cool to room temperature before sealing.
