What to do with all my jalepenos.
I have a garden full of volunteer jalepenos. More than I can ever eat, is freezing the best way to preserve them or is there a good way to pickle them?

Then, simply follow this recipe:

I added extra garlic and toasted and ground cumin, coriander, and oregano. Good luck! We're swamped with jalapenos too.
Slit the sides put them in bottles (A shaker top if you have it) and pour hot white vinegar over them. Not to make pickled peppers but to use the vinegar on cooked veggies. Ignore it a month or more before use--it keeps at room temp fine.
It's ubiquitous in the southern USA, used on greens like collards, kale, mustard greens etc, and on black eyed peas. New Years Eve greens are not the same without it.
This might a good time to find some nice bottles and make Christmas gifts.
I tested apartmentcooker's recipe for hot pepper jelly, betting it would be great with green jalapenos as well as red ones!
