    Source of Recipe

    List of Ingredients




    1 1/2 lbs. (675 g) serrano or jalapeno chiles
    3/4 cup (185 ml) vegetable oil
    2 medium white onions, thickly sliced
    3 medium carrots, scraped and thickly sliced
    1 head garlic, cloves separated but not peeled
    3 cups (750 ml) mild vinegar
    2 tablespoons salt
    2 Mexican bay leaves
    1/2 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
    6 sprigs fresh marjoram or 1/4 teaspoon dried
    6 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried
    1 tablespoon sugar

    Recipe



    Wash the chiles, leaving the stems intact. Cut a cross in the tip end of each chile so the vinegar can penetrate.
    Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet, then add the chiles, onions, carrots, and garlic, and fry over medium heat for about 10 minutes, turning them over from time to time.

    Add the vinegar, salt, herbs, and sugar, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes for serranos or 10 minutes for jalapenos.

    Pack 6 sterilized half-pint jars with the chiles, vegetables, and herbs, top with vinegar, and seal.
    These should keep about 1 month in the refrigerator.
