Beer-Pickled Jalapeños

We visited a restaurant recently in the OKC area and were treated to some beer-pickled jalapenos that accompanied some delicious white bean dip.   I decided then and there that I would replicate all parts of that appetizer.

White Bean Dip topped with chili oil, served with beer pickled jalapenos and tortilla chips from Oak & Ore, OKC.

Since the jalapenos are just starting to produce, I experimented with my first batch.   This recipe is modified from the Bourbon Pickled Jalapenos I posted four years ago.  I would highly recommend this recipe as well if you have an over abundance of peppers this summer.

These are a “quick pickle” and are not processed.   Make sure you store them in your refrigerator.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. jalapeños, sliced
  • 1 1/4 c. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 c. beer (I used an IPA.)
  • 1/3 c. honey
  • 1 t. sea salt
  • 1 t. brown mustard seeds

Instructions

  1. Divide jalapeño slices between two pint jars.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, beer, honey,  salt, and mustard seeds. Bring to a boil; then simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Pour hot liquid over jalapeños and seal jars with tight-fitting lid. Let cool to room temperature; then refrigerate for 3 days before serving. (Jalapeño pickles can be stored in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.)

Yield: 2 pint jars

I actually like this version more than the Bourbon Pickled Jalapenos.   The current recipe is not quite as sweet.  We gifted one pint jar to a friend who sent over some of his surplus peppers.  All that have partaken of these sweet-heat morsels deem them delicious.   I have made three batches thus far this summer.

My next post will incorporate jalapeños into a sweet dish, taking it over the top.   Intrigued?  Stay tuned.
