In a medium size saucepan mix the apple cider vinegar, sugar, turmeric, celery salt, onion powder, garlic powder and mustard seed. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Add the jalapeño slices, stir and simmer for an extra 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon scoop out the jalapeño and transfer to the mason jars. Divide as evenly as possible. After the jalapeño have been removed boil the liquid for an extra 5 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes then ladle the liquid over the jalapeño, leaving ¼” on top.
