Ingredients

  • 2 cups of sliced fresh jalapeño peppers ( approximately 6 - 8 large jalapeños )
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup white distilled vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 carrots peeled and sliced ( Optional )

Instructions

  • Combine the water, vinegar, sugar, salt, oregano, and garlic in a medium to small pot, and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt.
  • Add the jalapeños and carrots ( if using ), stir to coat, and remove from heat.
  • To store, put the jalapeños and carrots in a clean, glass 16 ounce jar, and cover with the liquid remaining in the pan.

Notes

The sugar is what tames the heat in the jalapeños. The 1 tablespoon listed here should leave you with a fairly spicy batch. Feel free to increase the sugar in 1 tablespoon increments, up to as many as 4 tablespoons, if you'd like a milder pickled pepper.
