Pickling a Pack of Peppers
December 13th, 2009
One of my favorites on nachos or as a side to shredded pork tacos are pickled jalapeños. The heat of the peppers and the twang of the vinegar add vibrancy to rich, fatty dishes. But, my preferred brand (Mrs. Renfro’s, if you’re curious) goes for about 6 bucks a jar.
I picked up a pound of jalapeños over the weekend for about a buck fifty, and, with a little guidance from the always informative Ruhlman (and his new partner in crime Michael Symon), I’ve got a jar ready to go for under $2 and about 10 minutes of work. And I’m confident they’ll be better than store-bought.
