These sugar free keto pickled jalapenos have been a regular in my kitchen for decades. I am a self confessed huge chilli lover and while I can stand the heat I still find the humble jalapeno a bit of an easy favourite.
Keto Pickled Jalapenos on plate

I am a massive jalapeño fan and I had to make a sugar free keto pickled jalapeños recipe. It tastes just the same as the canned variety!

At this time of year (Australian autumn/winter) I have a huge glut of jalapeños and always end up making lots of recipes featuring them. 

Why We Love Pickled Jalapenos

This keto pickled jalapeño recipe is a very simple recipe that everyone can easily make.

Jalapeños are a mild chilli with a Scoville unit measure of 2500-5000. With super-hot chillies having measures over 1 million Scoville units I would definitely consider them as a mostly mild child. They are a very tasty chilli that can add a little spice to many dishes.

How to make Keto Pickled Jalapeños

Conventional method

With this method I have included a method that includes blistering the skin of the jalapeños first. 

Place all the jalapeños in a large wide saucepan (or work in batches) to blister the skin of the chillies. 

Add remainder of ingredients and cook until soft.

Cool and slice. Store in a sterilised airtight jar in the fridge. 

Alternatively, the keto pickled jalapeños can be sliced before cooking.

Thermomix® Method

Place all sliced jalapeños into the mixer and cook 20 minutes/98℃/reverse/stir.  Increase cooking time if needed.

    I always enjoy pickled jalapenos and this version is my favorite because it doesn’t have lots of salt

        How is this listed as sugar free when there is two cups of sugar in recipe?

      2. Megan Mad Creations Hub

        I think you have misread. There is no 2 cups of sugar in the recipe. There are 2 cups of white vinegar.
