Honeyed Jalapeños

No need to wait for all the chillis to ripen. The green jalapeños are looking perfect for pickling.

I followed the same recipe as I always do (see here). As the recipe says, "You can use this pickle as a table condiment to spoon into your tacos or black bean soup". We use it as a garnish for chilli and to spice up our pizzas. 

The time consuming bit is slicing the peppers. I'd weighed out 750g but needed about 200g more to fill my jars completely.

After filling with the hot pickling liquid and sealing, I processed them in my makeshift hot water bath for 15 minutes.

And here they are labelled up. I know some relatives who will be glad to get one of the jars!

And any jars opened at home won't last long!
