Ingredients

  • 10 jalapeño
  • 1 carrot peeled & chopped
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ¾ cup water
  • ¾ cup white vinegar
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

Instructions

  • Clean and slice the jalapeños. (Recommend wearing gloves while slicing the peppers)
  • In a pan: add sugar, water, white vinegar, dried oregano, salt, minced garlic & whisk. Bring up to a simmer (medium-high). Simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Add the sliced jalapeños & chopped carrots. Submerge the jalapeños in the liquid. Cook for 3 minutes and remove from the heat source. Let the pickling jalapeños sit in the pan (about 1 hour) or until they are completely cool. Make sure to stir the jalapeños after ~30 minutes.
  • Transfer the jalapeños & carrots to the jar by placing a small strainer on top of the jar (watch the video for reference). Pour the liquid into the jar. Cover with a lid. If you prefer or are willing to try for more heat or spice; there's no need to strain the liquid or remove the seeds.
  • Let it sit in room temperature for at least 2 days before eating.

Refrigerate up to 2 months.
