Ingredients

• 10 pieces Fresh jalapeño peppers
• 1 cup White vinegar
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon Oregano (dried)
• 1 piece Bay leaf

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the jalapeño peppers thoroughly under running water, then slice them into thin rings. Discard the stems and seeds if desired for a milder flavor.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and lightly crush them using the flat side of a knife.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, kosher salt, garlic cloves, black peppercorns, dried oregano, and bay leaf.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar and salt completely.

Step 5

Once the mixture boils, add the sliced jalapeños to the saucepan. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Carefully transfer the jalapeños and the pickling liquid into a clean, heat-resistant jar or container. Make sure the peppers are fully submerged in the liquid.

Step 7

Allow the jar to cool to room temperature before sealing it tightly with a lid.

Step 8

Refrigerate the pickled jalapeños for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
