BREAD AND BUTTER JALAPENOS RECIPE

Steps:

• Scrub a 1 quart glass jar and its lid in hot soapy water. Rinse well and air-dry. Wash and dry the jalapenos. Prick each one several times with a fork. Stuff the jar with as many peppers as you can. In a small pot, combine the remaining ingredients with 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and carefully pour the hot liquid and spices over the jalapenos to almost the top of the jar. (A large-mouthed funnel may be useful here.) Seal the jar tightly with the lid, label with the date of creation, and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 week. The brine becomes spicier over time and makes excellent vinegar for dressings. The peppers can be stored for up to 2 months in the refrigerator.
