[CH] Sometimes, it's just the simple ones that are good enough

Well, this is an unexpected big hit for me and at work. I have experimented on and off with canning peppers. Most are not to my satisfaction.
As it turns out, however, the best result came from the simplest (and least expensive) efforts. I should listen to Hobby Farmer more often!
Just buy a package of the dill pickle solution powder at the store near the canning supplies (or make your own if you so wish). Follow the directions, substitute jalapenos instead of pickles. voila!
I put the cleaned, and sliced lengthwise jalapenos in the fridge for about 6 hours. I added a heafty amount of garlic and small perl onions to each jar as I added solution and finished off the pickles last weekend. Wow are they good.
