Pickled jalapeños are a hot, spicy way to make pickles and add
zest to your meal. The jalapeño is a chili pepper that produces
a hot burning sensation when you eat it. Named after Xalapa in
Mexico, it has come to stand for the fiery temper of the country
and its people. Over 160 square kilometers are devoted to
growing the plant in Mexico and over 22 square kilometers in the
United States. The jalapeño pepper can become so hot that people
who harvest the jalapeño have to wear gloves to protect
themselves from skin irritation. Pickers need to take care that
their hands do not come in contact with their eyes in order to
prevent burning and redness. Pickling is a way to preserve foods
in a mixture of salt and water or in vinegar. In some places,
edible oil is mixed with the vinegar, and spices, like garlic
and herbs, are added for taste. You can make pickles with
cucumbers, gherkins, cauliflower and many fruits. If you want
your pickles hot, then pickled jalapeños are the thing for you.
