oh great food goddess - do you happen to know how to pickle or preserve jalapeno's? I use them mostly for making salsa.

i'm growing some in my garden (in addition to cucumbers, green peppers and tomatoes) and when they're ready I'm sure I won't be able to prepare all of them at once (i will however share!). :)

Any tips?

I don't mean to sound rude, but have you googled it?

Do you want to can & pickle or just pickle? Pickling involves putting whatever you want to pickle in vinegar (a flavored vinegar is good - cider, champagne, etc...). If you want to can it, you'd boil it all and then can it. If you want to just refrigerator can, you can put it in the refrigerator and let it sit for a few days. They usually keep for a month or longer. Canning is the work of an afternoon, pickling about half an hour. Up to you.

Just please please learn from my mistakes and wear gloves when you prep your jalapenos. And after you're done, wash your hands before touching your face.
