These came out amazing! Pickling them takes the harsh edge off the peppers just enough to make them taste really nice! I just tried them on top of a salad and was very happy with how good they were. I just made them last night so I think they will get even better over the next few days!

I got the recipe here, but here’s the basics:

Ingredients:

15 habaneros seeds removed, sliced thin

1.5 cups distilled vinegar

0.5 cups water

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

2 cloves garlic

1 teaspoon mustard seed

This recipie is meant to fill a 16oz container

Cut out the stem and remove the seeds, then slice the peppers into thin rings. The original recipie recommends removing ALL of the seeds but I left some in since I like things extra spicy. Peel the garlic cloves and slice them in half. I added a few more cloves than the recipe recommended.

Next bring the vinegar/water mixture to a simmer, then add the sugar and salt and stir to dissolve.

In a jar or other heat proof container add the peppers garlic and mustard seed and pour the liquid over everything until it’s completely covered.

Seal the container and let it sit out until it cools to room temperature, then put it in the fridge! Let it sit for a few hours at least before serving, I let these sit overnight

The best container to use would be a mason jar but I didn’t have anymore lids and the store didn’t have them in stock so I used this Pyrex thing which was fine. Make sure whatever you use is ok to pour boiling liquids into!

If habaneros are too spicy for you this same repicie works great for jalapenos too, which I also made lol
