6 medium fresh jalapenos
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 large bay leaves
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • Warm oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add carrots, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes. Add bay leaves, peppercorns, oregano, and cumin seeds. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add onion, jalapenos, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and fragrant but not soft, about 15 minutes.
  • Place vegetables in a 24-ounce wide-mouth canning jar. Pour in the cooled vinegar mixture until liquid reaches 1 inch from the top. Pour olive oil on top and secure the lid. Allow to cool to room temperature. The carrots are ready to serve after 1 hour but best after sitting for 24 hours.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of spices and seasonings to flavor your pickled carrots. Common choices include garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and mustard seeds.
  • Adjust the amount of vinegar and sugar in the pickling solution to suit your taste. For a sweeter pickle, use more sugar. For a more tangy pickle, use more vinegar.
  • Canning your pickled carrots is a great way to preserve them for longer storage. Be sure to follow the canning instructions carefully to ensure that your pickles are safe to eat.
  • Pickled carrots can be enjoyed as a snack, side dish, or condiment. They are also a great addition to salads, sandwiches, and wraps.
