10 JALAPEñO RECIPES: PICKLED JALAPEñOS & MORE!

Steps:

• Wash a wide-mouth pint mason jar and and its lid in hot soapy water. Then rinse and let air dry.
• Thinly slice the jalapeño peppers. Fill the jar with the slices.
• Peel the garlic cloves, leaving them whole. In a small saucepan, combine the garlic, vinegar, water, sugar, kosher salt, peppercorns and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and salt (this will take only a few minutes).
• Once boiling, pour the brine into the jar (including the bay leaf). Tap the jar on the counter to release any air bubbles. Discard any remaining brine, or top off the jar with extra water if any peppers are exposed at the top.
• Screw on the lid tightly and allow to cool to room temperature (about 1 hour). Eat immediately, or refrigerate until serving. Keeps up to 1 month refrigerated.

JALAPENO POPPER MUMMIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, pepper jack cheese, cheddar cheese, scallions and salt.
• Fill jalapeño halves with the cheese mixture, top each with bacon, and place on a plate or tray. Unroll the crescent rolls and pull apart into 4 rectangles. Pinch the diagonal perforation together and press lightly to make smooth. Cut each rectangle into 6 long strips.
• Wrap 2 pieces of dough around each stuffed pepper, leaving room for the eyes. Place the wrapped peppers about 2 inches apart on prepared pan and bake until golden and puffed, about 13-15 minutes.
• Remove poppers from oven and place 2 eyes on the opening towards the stem. Place on a platter and serve with ranch dressing.

BEST EVER JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Spoon this mixture into the jalapeno pepper halves.
• Put the milk and flour into two separate small bowls. Dip the stuffed jalapenos first into the milk then into the flour, making sure they are well coated with each. Allow the coated jalapenos to dry for about 10 minutes.
• Dip the jalapenos in milk again and roll them through the breadcrumbs. Allow them to dry, then repeat to ensure the entire surface of the jalapeno is coated.
• In a medium skillet, heat the oil to 365 degrees F ( 180 degrees C). Deep fry the coated jalapenos 2 to 3 minutes each, until golden brown. Remove and let drain on a paper towel.
