PICKLED JALAPENOS

Recipe Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, garlic, peppercorns, and dried oregano (if using). Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
2. Add the sliced jalapeños to the saucepan and let them simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until they are slightly softened but still crisp.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pickling liquid cool slightly.
4. Carefully transfer the pickled jalapeños and the liquid to a clean glass jar or container, making sure the jalapeños are fully submerged.
5. Let the pickled jalapeños cool to room temperature, then cover the jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.
6. The pickled jalapeños will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
