James --

Cut a slit in the side of each chile and place them all in a bowl.  Cover
them with iced salt water and allow them to sit in the refrigerator
overnight.  Then pack them into sterilized jars, cover with boiling white
vinegar and put lids on them -- do not process them.  Good luck.

Matt

Hi!
	We recently made some pickled jalepenos which flavor wise turned out
really well. However, they did have a pretty mushy texture. Does anyone
know a way to keep them reasonably crispy? Thanks!
