Introduction
About this Recipe
By: Linda Eads
Here is a different flavor profile from my olive-based condiments.
These quick-pickled jalapeno peppers and onions are delicious on top of your favorite dishes to spice them up. They can also be enjoyed on their own, or in wraps, salads, or anywhere you want a little extra spice.
For a nice twist, try the pickling liquid in place of plain vinegar in homemade vinaigrettes and marinades.
Ingredients
Salad Ingredients:
- ¾ C. white vinegar
- ¾ C. water
- 2 Tbs. kosher salt
- 2 Tbs. honey, preferably local
- 3-4 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Safety Tip:
Wear gloves when handling jalapeno peppers to prevent burning.
