Directions
-
Sterilize 8 one-pint glass jars and lids by boiling them in water for 10 minutes, then set aside to dry.

Wash the jalapeño peppers thoroughly and slice them into rings, removing seeds if you prefer less heat.
-
Divide the smashed garlic cloves, peppercorns, cinnamon piece, and mustard seeds evenly among the bottom of each jar.
-
Pack the sliced jalapeños tightly into the jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
-
In a saucepan, combine the water, vinegar, and salt over medium heat.
-
Bring the liquid to a simmer, stirring until the salt is completely dissolved. Do not boil vigorously.
-
Pour the hot brine over the jalapeños in each jar, ensuring they are fully submerged.
-
Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean damp cloth and seal with the sterilized lids.
-
Let the jars cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 24 hours before eating.
