Delightful Pickled Jalapeno Rings Made in the Instant Pot

Ingredients

• 1 pound of vibrant jalapenos
• Soothing cup of white distilled vinegar
• Refreshing half-cup of water
• A hint of minced garlic, a tablespoonful
• Balanced with a tablespoon of sugar
• Just a touch of sea salt, a teaspoon's worth

Step 1

Thinly slice jalapenos into rings using a mandoline slicer, ensuring uniformity in size for even pickling. In a versatile multi-functional pressure cooker like Instant Pot®, gather your jalapeno rings, alongside vinegar, water, minced garlic, a hint of sugar, and a sprinkle of sea salt for that perfect balance of flavors. Seal the lid securely, engaging the high-pressure setting as per the appliance guidelines, then dial the timer to 0 minutes. As you wait for the pressure to intensify, give it about 10 minutes to reach that ideal cooking environment.

Step 2

With caution, release the pressure swiftly using the quick-release approach specified in the manufacturer's manual, allowing roughly 5 minutes for the steam to dissipate. Once safe, unlock and unveil the pot to reveal the aromatic concoction within. Carefully transfer the pickled jalapeno rings and their flavorful brine into two pint-sized jars, ensuring an equal distribution of the zesty liquid. Promptly transfer the jars to the refrigerator, giving them ample time to cool and meld the vibrant flavors together.
