Ingredients
1 pound jalapeño peppers
1.75 cups brown sugar
0.75 cups apple cider vinegar
0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
0.5 teaspoons celery seed
0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
0.25 teaspoons cumin seed
0.25 teaspoons anise seed
0.25 teaspoons salt
0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 pint-size canning jar
Instructions
1
While wearing gloves, rinse jalapeños and remove stem. Cut into 1/4-inch slices and set aside. To reduce the heat from the peppers, you may core out the centers with the seeds and discard before slicing.
2
Combine brown sugar and apple cider vinegar in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic powder, celery seed, turmeric, cumin seed, anise seed, salt, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer for 3 minutes. Add sliced jalapeño peppers and simmer for an additional 4 to 5 minutes.
3
Remove jalapeños to a jar using a slotted spoon. Continue simmering liquid over medium-low heat until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes more.
4
Pour liquid over the jalapeños and let cool. Use a strainer to remove excess seeds from the liquid, if desired. Refrigerate for a minimum of 3 days before eating. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
