  • 2 cloves garlic add a third for more pungency
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 5 pickled jalapeño slices a.k.a. cowboy candy
  • 1 small dried chili of your choice
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander
  • Pinch salt
  • 3 peas allspice
  • 3 cloves whole buds
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. mustard seeds
  • 2 bay leaves

Instructions

  • Place the thinly sliced onion and garlic in the bottom of a dry, clean glass jar.
  • Top the onion and garlic in the jar with the pickled jalapeños and syrup.
  • Tightly stack the sausages in the jar.
  • Place all the dry spices and salt in a saucepan. Pour in the water and vinegar. Bring the mix to a boil and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Then cool it down to room temperature.
  • Pour the warm brine over the sausages. Cover the jar with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for three days. After three days, the appetizer is ready.

Notes

Keep the sausages refrigerated to maintain taste and freshness. 
Variations:
1. Boiled eggs can also be prepared using the same recipe. You can cook the eggs and sausages in the same jar.
2. For a gentler version, reduce the amount of cowboy candies
3. Add a little soy sauce and replace the vinegar with its rice counterpart and you'll have sausages with an Asian flavor.
