Whiskey-Pickled Jalapeños

I have no idea how long this post has been in my drafts folder. But I am determined to clean up my blog which means posting all of these old recipes that never made it to public viewing. Sorry!

These are not processed, so they are not shelf stable. Keep them in your fridge and eat them within two to three weeks. If you process them in a water bath, they'll keep longer.

Ingredients

makes three half pint jars or so

1 pound jalapeños, sliced into 1/2" rounds (I had both green and yellow peppers)
1-1/4 C vinegar (I used an apple cider vinegar)
1 C whiskey
1/2 C honey (I used a raw local honey)
2 t coriander seeds
1 t mixed peppercorns
1/2 t black mustard seeds
2 bay leaves

Procedure

In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, whiskey, honey, coriander seeds, peppercorns, mustard seeds, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Place jalapeños in the pan and let stand for 3 to 4 minutes. Spoon jalapeños into small jars and pour the liquid and spices over them, dividing as evenly as you can. I got three half pint jars out of this.

Cover the jars and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for 3 days before serving. They will keep for two to three weeks in the fridge.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos .
