This delicious combination of fresh pineapple and jalapeño peppers, simmered in a rich, spiced syrup, is a must-try for those who love a mix of sweet and heat.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups of diced fresh pineapple
  • 1 cup of thinly sliced jalapeño peppers
  • 1 cup of apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups of granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder
  • 1 tablespoon of grated ginger
  • 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Syrup: In a large saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, sugar, lemon juice, mustard seeds, turmeric powder, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the sugar dissolves.

  4. Fill and Seal the Jars: Spoon the mixture into the sterilized jars, wipe the rims, seal them, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  5. Store and Enjoy: Let the jars cool completely before storing them in a cool, dark place.
