- Put the sugar, apple cider vinegar, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, yellow mustard seeds, ground turmeric and ¼ tsp fine salt in a saucepan over a low-medium heat. Swirl the pan to dissolve the sugar. Simmer for 5 mins to a light syrup.
- Add the chillies or jalapeños to the pan, swirling to coat in the syrup. Simmer for 5 mins or until darkened, shiny and slightly wrinkled at the edges.
- Transfer the chillies to a sterilised jar* and ladle over the syrup. Cool completely before eating. Once opened, the chillies will keep for up to 3 months in a sterilised jar in the fridge.
