My brother-in-law, André, enjoys gardening and grows loads of beautiful jalapeños especially for me. I love them and use in a lot of my recipes. They're quick and easy to pickle for the fridge. I strongly recommend wearing latex gloves when handling the jalapeños. We had a couple of leftover mini bells sweet peppers from André's garden that I also used because I liked the red/green contrast. Then he brought in a mess of beautiful banana peppers, and I thought what the heck....in they went. They're delicious!

#August2026 I love pickled eggs, pickled jalapeños, and pickled onions.

We have a bumper crop of Jalapeños and I use a lot so I canned them.

My Uncle brings by fresh fruits and vegetables from his fields. I am very grateful for that. This time he brought by okra, tomatoes and jalapenos.

When I was growing up my grandfather, parents, uncle and aunt, planted 5 acres of okra and yellow squash. We had okra and squash many ways always had plenty after selling at the market. This recipe is a tribute of those times.

For snacking and for many recipes.

I raise chickens and had some extra eggs. This is a perfect in a hurry snack

As is well known, chiles are essential in Mexican cuisine. For this occasion, to share this recipe with my friends who aren't used to eating chiles, I added vegetables based on a recipe I haven't been given but have discovered at a restaurant chain throughout the country.

Since Sriracha sauce is made with ripe red jalapeños, garlic powder, sugar, vinegar, and salt; and ripe jalapeños are nearly impossible to get at the grocery, I decided to use the next best thing, chipotle jalapeños. It is comparable in heat to Rooster Sauce and there is also a nice smokey flavor from the smoked red jalapeños.

Sweet, spicy, salty, flavorful jalapenos.

So many of the recipes for pickled beets out there call for buckets of sugar and spices that are better suited for pies than for pickles in my humble opinion.This recipe goes the tart savory direction with them instead.Substitute dill seeds or even a sprig of fresh dill for the caraway for a tasty variation.#cookingwithyui

My mom (Julie) and I pickled something like 50 pints of these last fall with my fresh garden beets. After peeling, I sent them through my salad shooter for quick slicing. I believe you could also use canned sliced beets, but don't quote me on that!
