 I have made them using both recipes.  The first one is more flavorful but


 also more trouble.  Since they weren't hot, if I do them agin, I would just


 cut them in half and leave seeds and membranes in.


 


 I have a question:  No matter how I make them, they always taste too


 vinegary.  How can you get them to taste like thae store-bought ones that


 do not taste so sour/vinegary? I have several jars of these left because I


 don't like that taste! Just ruins a batch of nachos! Commercial canners


 must use diluted vinegar or citric acid or other substitute, huh?

 First, wash jalapeno peppers.  Then make 2 -4 slits in each with a knife.


 Soak the chiles in salt water (1/3 cup salt to 1 Qt. water) for 24 hours.


 Rinse and dry chiles.  Put in boiling water and let boil for about 3


 minutes. Rinse in cold water. Drain. Cut up some onion and saute in a


 little olive oil. In each hot sterilized jar, place 1-2 cloves garlic, 1


 bay leaf, some sauteed onion, and a little oil. Fill up the remaining space


 in the jar with hot white vinegar. Seal and process in boiling water bath


 15 minutes or just use sterilized jars. Let "age" a few weeks before using.


 If you are not canning the jalapenos, use cold vinegar and refrigerate.
