Ingredients

1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1½ cups Sugar
1½ tsp Salt
1 tsp Mustard Seed
¼ tsp Celery Seed
1 tsp Coriander Seed
½ tsp Garlic Powder
1 lb Jalapeno Peppers

Instructions

Carefully remove the stems and slice the jalapenos into slices that are about a quarter inch in width. You can remove the seeds or use them.
To make the syrup, combine together the vinegar, sugar, and spices in a large pot. Heat the ingredients on medium high heat, using a whisk or similar item to stir occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved (about two and a half to three minutes).
Add the jalapenos to the pot and bring the ingredients to a boil. Then bump the heat down to low and allow the ingredients to simmer until the peppers are soft (about four to five more minutes). You will need to stir occasionally to ensure that pepper slices are covered with the sugary syrup.
To remove the jalapenos from the pot, use a slotted spoon to carefully transfer the jalapenos from the pot to the prepared jars (leaving the liquid in the pot).
The remaining liquid will be used to make a thick syrup to store the peppers in.
Return the pot with the liquid to to your stove on medium heat and cook until a thick syrup has formed and has reduced by half (about seven to ten minutes).
Carefully ladle or pour the syrup over the jalapenos so the the jars are filled to about a quarter inch from the tops of the jars. You can use a chopstick or similar item to press down on the peppers as needed.
Wipe down the rims of the jars to remove any syrup using a damp paper or kitchen towel and then screw on the lids. Place the jarred peppers into your refrigerator.
