Add 1 and 1/2 cups of distilled white vinegar to a pot.

Add 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of kosher salt to the pot.

Add 3 tablespoons of sugar to the pot.

Stir in the chopped jalapenos and bring the mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, cook the jalapenos for 7 to 10 minutes until they lose their bright green color and soften.

Prepare mason jars with clean lids for storing the pickled jalapenos.

Using a slotted spoon, divide the jalapenos into the mason jars.

Pour the boiling vinegar mixture over the jalapenos in the jars, filling them up.

Screw the lids on tightly while the jars are still hot.

Let the jars cool before placing them in the fridge.
