Servings 1 jar
Ingredients
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 1/2 cup mirin
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 star anise pod
- 1 tbsp dried cilantro
- 16 chopped jalapeno peppers
Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a saucepan and toss in the star anise, dried cilantro, and salt. Let simmer for 2 minutes while the flavors develop.
- Add the mirin, sugar and white vinegar to the saucepan and cook for about 5 minutes. Warning cooking vinegar might be somewhat breath taking. Make sure your room is well ventilated.
- Meanwhile you chop the jalapeno peppers. I made some rings but you can halve them too!
- Add the chopped jalapeno rings to a clean sterile jar (like these weck jars) and pour the pickling juice on top of the jalapeno peppers. Close the lid and set aside to cool down.
- Put in the fridge for at least 1 day or up to 3weeks. The longer you wait the better the taste!
