Equipment

  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • saucepan
  • French knife
  • Mason Jar

Ingredients

  • 5 Tomatillos
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Jalapeno
  • 3/4 cup White Vinegar
  • 3/4 cup Water
  • 1/4 tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1/4 tsp Black Peppercorns
  • 1/2 tbsp Kosher Salt

Instructions

  • Add white vinegar, water and salt to a saucepan. Stir then bring to a boil, and remove from heat once boiling. 
  • Remove the husks from the tomatillos and give them a rinse.  De-stem the tomatillos and cut them into quarters.
  • Add the chopped tomatillos to a Mason jar with chopped garlic cloves, and a Jalapeno pepper sliced lengthwise.
  • Add cumin seeds and black peppercorns to the jar.
  • Pour the hot brine mixture over the tomatillos.  You should have enough brine to fully submerge the tomatillos.  
  • Let the jar cool on the counter for 10-15 minutes, then seal it and store it in the fridge. The tomatillos will be fully pickled in about 24 hours and they'll keep for at least a month in the fridge.
