     @Chzikken_1486 the plant is churning out so many peppers I needed to do something with em.

     very cool, I also pickled jalapenos for the first time this year
     I used less sugar than the recipes online called for, not really a fan of sweet brine

     1 cup vinegar
     1c. water
     2 tbsp sugar
     1 tbsp salt
     2 tsp garlic (I used crushed garlic from a jar once, and then powder another time)
     ~1 lb jalapenos
     boil -> turn off heat -> jalaps in 15min -> jar 'em up

     that's what my notes say at least, I may have even cut sugar in half again the 2nd batch

     @harblinger what I did was ~1C vinegar, 1tsp sugar, 2tsp salt, 1 tsp granulated garlic, 2 tsp dehydrated onion (in hindsight, far too much), and ~1tsp of whole cloves. Just sliced the peppers, into the jar, then boiled the brine until I couldn't bear the smell anymore, and poured it over. Fit this pint size jar almost perfectly.

     @harblinger I adore cloves, I use it in all of my baking and my grandma used to pickle things with whole cloves.
     
     She used to pickle watermelon rind, which sounds insane but I have such fond memories as a kid having it on hot summer days.
