PICKLED JALEPENOS

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Mexican

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Clove garlic
1 Sprig Mexican Oregano
Vinegar
Jalapeno Peppers

Sterilize pint or half pint canning jars. Into each
jar, place a clove of garlic (optional), and a sprig
of Mexican oregano (also optional, but highly
recommended).

Pack the washed peppers into the jars. For a hotter
product, prick each pepper a couple of times with a
fork (I don't know why, but it seems to work).

Fill the jars with boiling vinegar to cover the
peppers well. Cap. My grandmother never processed
these, just stuck them on the shelf for a couple of
months to marinate. On the rare occasions when I've
made 'em, I keep the jars under refrigeration, just to
be sure.

Please note I am NOT a canning/preserving expert --
have done VERY little of this (got my fill of it as a
kid). I've only made these a couple of times as an
adult, and they turned out fine, but surely there are
more expert opinions out there....
