These are SO good and are a staple in our home. I was wondering about the extra liquid though- (after removing the jalapenos)- is there any reason why I couldn’t slice up Maui onions into rings and proceed with the recipe,(as far as boil for 4 mins, etc) then can the pickled onions just the same as the jalapenos?

Totally addictive! 3 pounds of jalapenos is a lot but well worth it.

I made these over a year ago and got rave reviews from my family and co-workers. I am making a batch to give for Christmas gifts, which I know they will love and also came across a can from 2011, can’t wait to compare. Thank you for sharing!

These are OUTSTANDING!!! They are not spicy, just perfectly sweet. The taste reminds me of the Harry and David Pepper jelly, DELICIOUS. We are eating them right now over cream cheese w/crackers, yum!

I made a batch of these a month ago. It made approximately 6 pints. One of my sisters boyfriends ate a whole pint in one sitting. He ate a half pint the next day (This was the entire amount I gave that sister). My other sisters boyfriend say they were “damn good”. I was waiting the recomended time to open mine.

These are awesome. I made 3 batches last fall and did two more today. The first one I ever made I seeded half of the jalapenos because so many reviewers said they turned out so hot. While that batch was tasty, my husband and I didn’t think they were spicy at all, so I think leaving all the seeds in is the way to go.

I’ve never gotten 9 half pints out of a batch, only 7-ish, plus a few jars of syrup. Also, it always takes a while to come back to a simmer after adding the sliced jalapenos, so I tend to start timing after it simmers again, not after I add them. (Hope that helps someone who wondered the same thing as I did.)

Michelle- It is absolutely fine to wait 2-4 weeks if they’re refrigerated and the peppers are submerged in the liquid!

Thanks for the recipe! I made these last night and decided to skip the water bath. After cooling, I placed all of the jars along with an extra jar of the syrup in the fridge. Is it ok to wait the 2 – 4 weeks before eating them or will they go bad in the fridge? I’m a newbie at this!

The are amazingly good. I canned 4 pints less than a week ago, but I just had to open one up this morning. Absolutely fantastic. This is the first thing I’ve ever canned, but they were super easy and definitely worth it. Will definitely be making another batch. ASAP!
