Description

This year I decided to grow jalapeño and serrano chiles—those wonderfully hot and flavorful Mexican chilies that are used to make salsa, guacamole, and so many Mexican dishes. But I certainly wasn't expecting each plant to yield over a pound of chiles.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound jalapeño (and/or serrano if you wish) peppers
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 to 3 medium white or yellow onions, thickly sliced
  • 2 to 3 medium carrots, peeled and thickly sliced
  • Florets from 1/2 small cauliflower (optional)
  • 1 head garlic, cloves separated but not peeled
  • 4 cups apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt or sea salt
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 sprigs fresh marjoram or fresh oregano, or 1/4 teaspoon dried
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme, or 1/4 teaspoon dried
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
