Steps:
- Remove the stems from jalapenos and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices. Remove some or all of the seeds, as desired, by rinsing jalapenos several times in a bowl with cold water and swirling until the seeds break off.
- Inspect four 8-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jalapenos are ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
- Toss jalapenos, onion, and carrots together in a bowl.
- Combine vinegar, water, pickling salt, and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir until sugar has dissolved.
- Place 1 garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1 bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon crushed peppercorns, and 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds in each jar. Distribute jalapeno mixture among the jars, packing jars tightly without crushing the vegetables.
- Pour boiling pickling liquid over the vegetables, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove any air bubbles and add 1/8 teaspoon calcium chloride to each jar.
- Wipe jar rims clean and place lids on jars. Put on bands and close tightly.
- Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and remove the lid of the canning pot. Let the jars sit in the hot liquid for 5 minutes, then remove and let them cool for 24 hours. Wait at least 2 days before serving, or up to 1 to 2 weeks.

Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful peppers. The riper the pepper, the sweeter and less spicy it will be.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. A high-quality vinegar will have a rich, complex flavor that will complement the peppers.
- Use a variety of peppers. Different peppers will give your vinegar a different flavor profile. For example, serrano peppers are spicier than jalapeños, while poblano peppers are milder.
- Experiment with different flavors. You can add other ingredients to your vinegar, such as garlic, herbs, or spices, to create a unique flavor profile.
- Be patient. It takes time for the vinegar to infuse with the peppers. The longer you let it sit, the more flavorful it will be.
Conclusion:
Jalapeno balsamic vinegar is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for adding a sweet and spicy flavor to salads, grilled meats, and vegetables. It can also be used as a marinade or dipping sauce. If you are looking for a way to add some excitement to your meals, jalapeno balsamic vinegar is a great option.
