JALAPEñO PICKLES

Jalapeño Pickles image

These medium-spicy pickles, versions of which can be found throughout Mexico and Central America, make a perfect garnish for burgers, tacos or sandwiches, or they may be served with drinks. They are often made only with jalapeños, plus a little onion and carrot. Jalapeños vary in heat: Some are very spicy, some not. If you wish to make the pickles spicier, add a few serrano chiles, split lengthwise.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
3 teaspoons kosher salt
2 bay leaves
3 whole cloves
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
2 allspice berries
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
3 medium carrots, sliced at an angle, about 1/2-inch thick (about 2 cups)
6 large jalapeños, sliced crosswise, about 3/8-inch thick (about 3 cups)
1 small head garlic, broken into unpeeled pieces
1 large onion, cut in wedges or rings
1/2 medium cauliflower, cut into small florets (about 3 cups)
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

Put vinegar, 3 cups water and salt in a large nonreactive pot over medium-high heat. Add bay leaves, cloves, coriander, allspice and red-pepper flakes, and bring to a simmer.
Add carrots, jalapeño, garlic, onion and cauliflower, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, leaving vegetables slightly firm. Turn off heat and add oregano.

Make sure the pickling solution is completely covering the jalapeños.
