PICKLED JALAPEÑOS

INGREDIENTS



1/2 pound jalapenos (about 8), stems removed, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns



DIRECTIONS




Place jalapenos in a large heatproof glass bowl. In a medium pot, bring carrots, cider vinegar, 2 cups water, bay leaves, salt, sugar, and peppercorns to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes. Pour over jalapenos and let sit until cool, about 1 hour, using a small plate to keep jalapenos submerged if they float.
