Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 garlic cloves (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing the jalapenos and slicing them into rings while wearing gloves.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water. Stir until it reaches a gentle boil and the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add cinnamon sticks and garlic cloves to the syrup; simmer for about 5 minutes until fragrant.
- Carefully add the sliced jalapenos into the bubbling syrup and stir gently to coat each piece evenly.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the jalapenos are glossy and tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and let them cool in their syrup before transferring to sterilized jars.
