Good jalapenos from a jar: Trappey's Sliced Jalapenos. I just tried these...

...for the first time, and they are really good.

The liquid is loaded with vinegar, which I like, and the jalapenos have a bit of a crunch to them. So many canned versions are mushy, so this was a pleasant surprise.

Those who like the escabeche sweetness won't like these, but I think they would be great in Dawn/MO's Spicy Chicken Salad.

Michael, you need to try making your own pickled jalapenos..

I have made these a few times now and everyone loves them. I don't waterbath them, I just let them sit on the counter at room temp for a few days, then refrigerate. They are crunchy because they aren't cooked except for pouring the brine over them. I know that you are supposed to waterbath them, but I figure, what can grow in that much vinegar. And there is no salt in them, that is not a typo. These are so inexpensive to make yourself, you will never go back to buying commercial ones again. Give it a try.
NOTES : These make really crispy jalapeno slices.

Dawn, Thx for posting this rec. Every year, I receive lots of Hot Hungarian peppers from my FIL

I try to be creative on how to use them, but unfortunately, I can only use so many. Last summer, I felt so guilty because I had a bag of them that had to be thrown out. I really appreciate this recipe. Will make pickled peppers this summer!
