Step 1

Make a Brine - Mix the salt in the water until dissolved to make a brine

Step 2

Wash the jalapenos

Step 3

Place in fermentation vessel - Place the jalapeños, garlic cloves and sliced onion in a fermenting vessel ( a 1Quart canning jar would work fine or a large mouthed glass jar or crock is fine too). Pour brine over to fully cover and then some. If you do this in a mason jar, fill to the top and cap with an airlock so gasses can escape. I can recommend the Easy Fermenter Wide Mouth Lid Kit or these Pickle Pipes. If yiou ferment in another vessel, place a plate or a weight on the ingredient if necessary to keep them submerged in the brine.

Step 4

Wait impatiently - Let sit on your counter for several weeks.

Step 5

Jar it up and place in a refrigerator - Move to refrigerator for longer term storage.
