Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lb fresh jalapenos
1 1/3 c cider vinegar
2 c fresh or canned pineapple without the juice
4 c sugar
4 Tbsp mustard seed

Steps:

  • 1. Slice jalapenos.
  • 2. Mix cider vinegar, sugar, and mustard seed to a low boil. Reduce for 5 minutes to a simmer.
  • 3. Add jalapenos.
  • 4. Simmer for 5 minutes more.
  • 5. Load hot sterilized jars with 4 to 5 chunks of pineapple.
  • 6. Using a slotted spoon add jalapenos first.
  • 7. I drain the liquid and leave the majority of the seeds out of the jars but you can put them in.
  • 8. Add liquid filling the jars leaving a 1/4 headspace.
  • 9. Remove air bubbles with a rubber spatula or chopstick and refill to headspace, if needed.

  • 11. Add hot lids/rings.
  • 12. Place in water bath canner.
  • 13. Process at a full boil for 15 minutes.
  • 14. Note: If you like it even milder then, by all means, split jalapenos in half and take out the seeds and ribs.
