Candied Jalapeños

In  a large pot, Boil 1 cup white vinegar with two cups sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Boil for five minutes, or until sugar dissolves completely. Add 2 lbs sliced jalapeños (stems discarded) and summer for five minutes. Pour into jars with the liquid included. You can can them at this point, but I never do. I just keep them in the fridge, where they will stay fresh for a month (as long as you don’t out a finger in the jar), if you can keep them around that long.

Pickled Red Onion

Thinly slice a red onion and pack it into a large jar. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and sugar. Heat 1 cup of cider vinegar to boiling. Pour over the top of the onions. Allow the onions to cook before serving.

Apple Slaw

Chop 1 sweet red apple into matchsticks and place in a large bowl. Add 1 cup thinly sliced cabbage, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, 3 tablespoons mayo, and 1 teaspoon dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.

These are three great condiments to serve on tacos, burgers, sandwiches, but I like to serve them on grilled bratwurst or grilled hot dogs. Add a little shredded sharp cheddar and a sprinkle of crumbled bacon to take it next level! It’s a great dish for that transition time between late summer and early fall, when you still want to grill, but want something a little more warm and cozy!
