These are the hot carrots like you get in Mexican restaurants. They are positively addictive. I usually make a batch and share with a friend or neighbor. This recipe comes from a restaurant in San Diego called Alta Vista. It was owned and run by a woman named Mary Sargent. Her loyal customers were saddened when she closed her doors and retired, but at least we are able to make these delicious carrots.

1 1/2 qt warm water
7 oz whole canned jalapeno peppers with liquid
1 Tbsp dried oregano
6 clove garlic
2 c cider vinegar
1/4 c vegetable oil

Tips:

To make the pickling liquid, combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, and red pepper flakes in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar and salt dissolve.
Use a sharp knife to cut the carrots into thin slices or sticks. This will help them pickle evenly.
Pack the carrot slices or sticks into a clean glass jar. Make sure to leave some headspace at the top of the jar so that the pickling liquid can cover the carrots completely.
Pour the hot pickling liquid over the carrots in the jar. Make sure that the carrots are completely covered by the liquid.
Seal the jar tightly and let the carrots pickle for at least 24 hours before eating. The longer you pickle them, the more flavorful they will become.
Once the carrots are pickled, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
