LOW-CARB JALAPEñO POPPERS (KETO-FRIENDLY)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Using gloves, trim the stems and slice each Jalapeno in half long-ways. Next, remove all of the light green membrane and the seeds and carefully cut away any of the white ribs inside the peppers. If needed, rinse the peppers to remove any additional seeds.
• Next, transfer the Jalapenos to a baking sheet and place them cut-side-up. Bake for 11 minutes then let cool until at least lukewarm before adding the filling.
• In the medium bowl, stir together all of the filling ingredients until thoroughly combined.
• Using a spoon or clean hands, stuff each pepper with the filling until full and then press down the filling in slightly to ensure that it stays in pepper while baking. Next, sprinkle the additional shredded cheese over each jalapeno. If desired, garnish with additional chopped cilantro.
• Finally, bake the stuffed Jalapenos at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese on the top begins to brown slightly.

• Once boiling, pour the brine into the jar (including the bay leaf). Tap the jar on the counter to release any air bubbles. Discard any remaining brine, or top off the jar with extra water if any peppers are exposed at the top.
• Screw on the lid tightly and allow to cool to room temperature (about 1 hour). Eat immediately, or refrigerate until serving. Keeps up to 1 month refrigerated.

PICKLED JALAPEñO PEPPERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Sterilize three, 16oz jars and lids. The National Center for Home Food Preservation shows us how.
• Throughly wash the peppers and chop into rings. To protect hands from those burning pepper oils, wear disposable gloves and wash your hands throughly after handling the peppers.
• In a medium sauce pot, bring the vinegar, water, salt and sugar to a boil. Add the peppers and garlic to the vinegar water, stir then remove from heat. Allow the peppers to set in the brine solution for 15 minutes. You'll notice the color of the peppers turn from bright green to a duller shade. Meanwhile, decide if canning or quick/refrigerator pickling the peppers and prepare by reading A or B below.
• Once the peppers have changed color, pack the jars with the peppers, while also scooping the brine into jars. Use a spoon to gently pack the rings if needed, to make room for more (they can be packed in pretty tight). Top with brine and more peppers as needed. Leave about a 1/2″ (1.3cm) head space at the top of each jar. At this point, you have two options. Can the peppers or quick/refrigerator pickle them.
• A. If Canning: Bring a large canner or your largest stock pot of water to a boil (at least a 10 quart (9.5L)) pot. You want the pot large enough to cover the jars with about one inch of water and hold as many jars as can fit for processing. Place the jar lids in a shallow pan and pour boiling water over the lids. This softens the rubber seals and readies them for canning. Allow the lids to set until you're ready to lid the jars. Lid the peppers and gently twist the lid rings on the jars. Once the stock pot water is boiling, gently place the jars in the water and set a timer for 10 minutes and process the jars. After 10 minutes, remove the jars from the water, dry off with a towel and set aside to cool. B. For Quick/Refrigerator Pickled Jalapeños:Simply place the lidded jars in the refrigerator. They'll last for several months and be ready for snacking in about 24 hours, or in an hour for the quickest pickle! They taste better with a little time on them.
• If your jalapeños are canned, listen for the lid to pop - this means your jars are sealed and ready for long term storage at room temperature. If the lid doesnt pop or seal, place them in the refrigerator and treat them as quick pickled Jalapeños.If you're going for a refrigerator quick pickle, the lid doesn't need to pop, rather your peppers are ready to be refrigerated right after lidding the jar.
• Quick pickled jalapeños can last several months in the fridge or if properly canned, up to one year at room temperature. Once a jar is opened, store in the refrigerator. An open jar of canned or quick pickled jalapeños will last months in the refrigerator. (update 3/22: this year my quick pickled jalapeños lasted eight months in the fridge)

Steps:

• In a glass measuring cup place jalapeno and water and microwave for 5 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes. Drain and reserve liquid and discard jalapenos.
• In a large non-stick saucepan mix sugar, jalapeno liquid and syrup, making sure to mix well. Stir over medium heat until candy thermometer reaches 240 degrees and add peanuts. Continue stirring until candy reaches 298 degrees and remove from heat and add salt, butter and baking soda, stir well.
