In a saucepan, combine sugar, salt, garlic powder, turmeric, and celery seed.

Pour the hot mixture over the sliced jalapenos in a mason jar, ensuring the jalapenos are covered.

Seal the mason jar with the lid and shake it to blend the ingredients.

10

Place the sealed mason jar in a pot of water on medium heat to finish cooking the jalapenos.

Cook for 45 minutes to an hour, until the color of the jalapenos changes to a dull green, adding an extra 10 minutes if desired.
