Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 lbs jalapeņo chile peppers
1 lb white or yellow onions, thinly sliced
1/4 C pickling salt (can use Kosher salt, but not table salt because of its additives)
1 1/4 C white distilled vinegar
1 C apple cider vinegar
2 1/4C sugar
1 T mustard seeds
1 star anise
1 cardamom pod
3/4 tsp celery seeds
1" cinnamon stick
6 whole cloves
1/2 tsp turmeric
2 clean 1-quart canning jars, or 4 pint jars
Directions:
Directions:
Cut stem ends off jalapeņos and cut in half lengthwise. Remove and discard seeds and ribs and place peppers in a large bowl. Add onions and stir in pickling salt until well distributed. Cover peppers with a clean, thin towel and put ice over the towel and place bowl in refrigerator. Chill for at 4 hours. After 4 hours, rinse the salt off of the peppers and onions. Drain, and rinse and drain again.

In a 4 or 6 quart pot, put vinegar, sugar, and spices. Bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar. Add the peppers and onions and bring to a boil again. Watch the peppers. As soon as they are all cooked through (you can tell because their color changes from a vibrant to a more dull green), start packing your canning jars with the peppers and onions, using a slotted spoon to remove them from the pan. Pack the jars evenly with the peppers and onions, up to about an inch from the top of the jars. Then pour the sugary vinegar mixture over the peppers, until it covers them. Cover the jars and let cool to room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator.
