It also helps to make sure you are using fresh and firm jalapenos. I made a batch that half of the peppers sat a few days before I got to them and the other half were just off of the vine. There was a big difference in the firmness of the final product.

They are great tasting, but my Jalapenos were the hottest I’ve ever grown. This year they are a nice medium heat. I gifted a lot of last years to some friends who liked crazy hot.20210816_204908.jpg

You can use a product by Ball called “pickle crisp granules” it’s calcium chloride . A 1/8 tsp per pint will make them nice and crunchy,I have used it for several yrs on all kinds of veg’s… It will made them crunch! Used to you had to soak your cumbers over night to make them crisp but this stuff eliminates that.

I would classify this as a soft, yet crunchy bite. Not exactly cripsy as they are completely infused in the syrup. Totally delicious tho. Every jar I open are gone in minutes.

Not sure what the issue is.Bob probably hit it on the head. Cook time has to right

You can control the “crunch” of the peppers by your cooking times. When you pull them out of the hot brine bath and pack your jars it will actually seal but is it safe for longtime storage? In a word, NO.

Here’s what I found works for me and I keep this stuff probably longer than I should. Had some last week from 2018 I found in the corner of the basement. You can reduce the hot brine time by half. Your timing should start as soon as you see it start to boil. All you’re doing here is softening the pepper rings and starting to ad flavor. I can (HWB) mine in larger pint jars for 10 minutes. The way we go through an open jar the 1/2 pints are always in the dishwasher. LOL
