I have been eating store bought jalapeños until I tired this recipe. I promise you will also never go back to jarred jalapeños again once you try these making at home.

You can adjust the amount of sugar as per your taste but remember longer these are left refrigerated, the sweeter they become. These jalapeños can be stored refrigerates up to 2 months or might be longer. Give this simple recipe a try and Enjoy!!!
