Pickled Jalapeños Recipe
Report
This Pickled Jalapeños Recipe is the version made across Mexico. It's more than just a simple sour brine: these jalapeños are flavored with peppercorns, oregano, and cloves, a tasty combination sweetened up with a touch of sugar.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano (see note 1)
- 1/8 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 4 whole cloves
- 4 Jalapeno peppers halved or sliced, seeds removed if desired (about 12 ounces, see note 2)
- 1 large carrot peeled and thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/4 cup sliced onions
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or olive oil
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring water, Mexican oregano, peppercorns, and cloves to simmer. Add jalapeños, carrots, and onions and simmer until tender, about 7 minutes.
- Add vinegar and sugar and simmer 3 minutes longer. Remove from heat and add salt to taste.
- Using tongs, transfer jalapeños, carrots, and onion to a glass pint jar. Fill the jar with brine, leaving 1/2-inch space at the top. Add oil, cover, and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until chilled.

Notes
- Mexican oregano: This dried herb tastes more like marjoram than Italian oregano, and you can find it in the Hispanic food aisle at some grocery stores. Substitute Italian oregano if that's what you have.
- Jalapeños: Some jalapeños are very mild with a grassy taste, and some are hot as fire. You never know what you're going to get until you take bite! If you're worried about the spice, remove any seeds and inner membranes for the chiles (and wear gloves if you want to).
- Yield: This recipe makes 1 pint jar (16 ounces) of pickled vegetables.
- Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for 2 weeks or more.
