Ingredients

4-6 Jalapenos
1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup Water
1 1/2 cups Sugar or honey
2 small Bay Leaves
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Smoky Paprika

Instructions

Wearing gloves to protect your hands, remove the stems from the jalapenos and then slice each jalapeno into 1/4 inch rounds.
In a pot, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and spices. Bring it to a boil over high heat.
Transfer the sliced peppers to the pot and immediately turn off the heat. Let the peppers sit for 15 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, place all the peppers in an 8 oz. jar. Then pour the syrup mixture over all the peppers until you meet the rim of the glass and they are fully covered.
Seal tightly with a lid and place it into the fridge and use on your favorite foods, with BBQ, on smoked cream cheese and more!

Notes

If you have extra syrup that doesn't fit into your jar, save it and use it as the base in cocktails and margaritas!
