Steps:
- Give the jalapenos a rinse and then cut into 1/4 inch slices. Peel the carrots and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
- Peel and quarter the onion, chopping into thin slices. Peel and roughly chop the garlic.
- Heat a glug of oil in a medium sized sauce pan over medium heat. Saute the onion and garlic for a few minutes.
- Add the spices: 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano, 8-10 black peppercorns. I usually give the spices a quick crush in the molcajete but this is optional. And feel free to use powdered spices if you don't have seeds or peppercorns on hand.
- Add the jalapenos and carrots. Briefly saute and then add 1.5 cups white vinegar, 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon kosher or sea salt, and 1 bay leaf (optional). Simmer until the jalapenos are just turning army green in color.
- Fill two pint-sized Mason jars with the veggies and fill to the brim with the vinegar mixture. You can also use a single quart-sized Mason jar. You can give them a taste test now for a preview, but they won't have full flavor until they rest overnight in the brine.
- I usually let the jars cool on the counter for a bit, then cap and store in the fridge where they will keep for weeks at a time.

PICKLED CARROTS WITH JALAPENOS
I found this on a blog a while back (sorry I don't recall where) and adapted it to what I had available. These can be eaten soon after making though I find the longer they sit, the better they are. They will keep in the refrigerator indefinitely.

PICKLED JALAPEñOS
Ask any Mexican if they have pickled jalapeños in their pantry, and the answer is usually a resounding yes. More than a condiment, they are an absolute necessity. Incredibly versatile, they can be tucked into tacos, quesadillas and sandwiches, mixed into tuna salads or eggs for omelets, or served as garnishes, crowning nachos, hot dogs and pizzas. The tangy brine, which can be used to punch up any vinaigrette, tames the heat of the chiles. There are countless store-bought options - and people tend to be loyal to particular brands - but pickling your own is easy, and allows you to customize to taste, altering the vegetable ratios, herbs or sugar content. Inspired by fruit-based vinegars available in the Mexican countryside, this version combines white distilled vinegar with natural rice vinegar, adding a dose of sweetness.

Steps:
- In a large (12-inch) skillet or a heavy pot, heat the oil over medium-high until hot but not smoking. Add the onions and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until their outer layer begins to soften. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until it barely begins to turn golden. Incorporate the jalapeños and carrots, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring a couple times, until the jalapeño skins begin to slightly dull and wrinkle.
- Stir in all remaining ingredients and simmer briskly for about 7 minutes, until the liquid reduces and the vegetables soften. Turn off the heat and let cool.
- Transfer the pickled vegetables and their liquid into a container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 12 hours. (They will last for at least 1 month.)
Tips:
- Choose the right peppers. Choose fresh, firm peppers that are free of blemishes. Jalapeños are a good choice because they have a medium heat level and a slightly sweet flavor.
- Wash and dry the peppers thoroughly. This will help to remove any bacteria or dirt that may be present.
- Wear gloves when handling the peppers. The capsaicin in the peppers can irritate your skin, so it is important to wear gloves to protect yourself.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the peppers. This will help to prevent the peppers from tearing.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers. The seeds and ribs are the hottest parts of the pepper, so removing them will help to reduce the heat level of the pickled peppers.
- Use a clean jar for pickling the peppers. The jar should be large enough to hold the peppers and the pickling liquid.
- Make sure the pickling liquid is completely covering the peppers. This will help to prevent the peppers from spoiling.
- Store the pickled peppers in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve the peppers and keep them fresh.
- Allow the pickled peppers to age for at least 2 weeks before eating. This will allow the flavors to develop and mellow.
