This recipe is very close to the one I use.
If you want a little extra spicy kick to it, add
1/4 teaspoon of horseradish per pint.

Is there any reason for white instead of cider vinegar? Would seem healthier.

I've made similar recipe. Always sad when I run out of these around December/January.
I know nothing about one type of vinegar supposedly being healthier than any other type.
I suspect that if you use any other sort of vinegar it is going to add some sort of other taste to it and I also suspect that white vinegar is going to have the most neutral taste. Feel free to experiment though.
Standard white vinegar is what I keep on-hand. I buy it in the gallon jugs at Wal-Mart and it lasts me for quite awhile between using in in cooking / cleaning / rust-removal / whatever.
Raw cider vinegar is only healthy if not boiled... otherwise it carries the same heath bennies of regular vinegar which is some but not a wonder cure.
Made another batch last night using the Morton pickling salt. The salt tastes the same to me.
Tried them out today and they are just so much better than the store bought type of pickled jalapenos. At that rate, I don't know if I'll ever finish up the store bought ones that I have in my fridge.
By my calculations...
$0.57 for the jalapenos
$0.24 for the vinegar
The salt and sugar would be a negligible cost since it's only 1 tbsp per cup of vinegar
and ended up with about a 32 oz container filled with pickled jalapenos.
So, let's say $1 for the jar... Cheap and so much better than the commercial brands...
Habanero's is a nice touch.

I do end of garden pickled hot peppers, go to farmers markets end of fall and make offers on whatever they have. Slice and fridge pickle them, last year had some Carolina Reaper peppers... yikes were they hot!
Pickling salt won't turn your peppers brown like table salt. That's the main difference.
I pickle my peppers like so. Cut peppers in rings. Pack in pint jar. Add 1/4 tea spoon of salt. Add 1/4 tea spoon of alum. Mix white vinegar and water 50/50. Boil the water vinegar mix and pour in jars to cover the peppers. Place lid and they will seal. I have kept them 10 years that way in the cellar. Plenty hot for me . I also chop them up in a electric chopper my wife has and put them on my October beans . With a little cornbread and a onion your living like a king.
I forgot to ad, this recipe came from my aunt. She was a Hungarian lady and weighed about 400 lb. lol She sure could cook.

We make pickeled Jalapenos similar to Navyvet's recipe and put them up in jelly jars--they're still crisp 2 yrs later(found one in the back of the cupboard).
Here in the south, pickled pepper vinegar is a staple for most of us. I really don't want to usually eat my greens without it! And maybe a little LA Hot Sauce as well. After 48 years of marriage, a good mess of greens will still excite my wife! I'll take what I can get there, I guess.
She doesn't like jalapinos and says they're "too hot," but I've learned that if I put some in with the banana peppers, she usually doesn't notice, and she sure eats heartily when I make them that way. Any of y'all have that kind of "problem" with the wife and the hot stuff?
