Pickled Jalapenos
We are obsessed with pickled jalapeños in our house! We go through so many jars that we make our own. It is an easy recipe that you will love.

In the ingredients list under mayonnaise it says see note. I could use a little help finding the note. Thank you in advance.
Sorry about that! That was an old edit that was never removed. I was mentioning that you could use light mayo in place of full fat.
