Instructions
- Slice the carrots, onions and jalapenos.
- Add the onions and jalapenos to a large mason jar. Set the carrots aside.
- In a large saucepan on the stove, add the white vinegar, water, sea salt, cumin, oregano and crushed garlic. Turn the heat up to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once the mixture is boiling, whisk it together and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the carrots to the mixture and cook for 4 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and pour the hot vinegar mixture with the carrots, into the mason jar with the onions and jalapenos.
- Tighten the lid on the mason jar and shake to combine all of the ingredients.
- Let the vegetables pickle in the vinegar mixture at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
- Serve immediately, or place in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- To fit all of the vegetables in one jar, I recommend these 50 ounce jars as shown in this post. But you can also divide the vegetables and pickling liquid between two, or more, smaller jars.
- The pickled vegetables can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Do not drain the liquid from the vegetables anytime during this 3 weeks. The pickling liquid is what preserves the vegetables and keeps them from spoiling.
- This recipe is dairy free and gluten free. It’s perfect for a vegetarian or vegan diet.
- To make the vegetables spicy, add two more sliced jalapenos to the vegetable mix. Jalapenos will vary in spice. If you really want to spice things up, also add a sliced serrano pepper to the mix.
- To make the vegetables mild, omit the jalapenos or reduce the recipe down to one jalapeno.
- Other vegetables can be added to the mix, like cauliflower florets or sliced radishes. Just make sure to keep the same ratio of vegetables to pickling liquid. For example, if you want to add cauliflower and radishes, add 1/4 pound of each and reduce the amount of carrots and red onions to 1/4 pound each.
