Instructions:
- Prepare the syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Add jalapeños & pineapple: Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the jalapeños turn translucent and the pineapple absorbs the syrup.
- Jar it up: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the jalapeños and pineapple into sterilized jars. Pour the hot syrup over them, leaving about ½ inch of space at the top.
- Seal & store: Allow to cool before sealing the jars. Let it sit for at least 24 hours before eating to let the flavors meld.
