Instructions

Combine the jalapeño rounds, white wine vinegar, water, sugar, and 1 tsp salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer the jalapeños and brine to a heatproof bowl or jar, and set aside to pickle for at least 20 minutes.
