This information is from the Division of Agricultural
Sciences at the University of California in cooperation with
the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture.

Jalapenos en Escabeche

Jalapeno peppers
Carrot slivers or thin slices
Celery pieces
Onion pieces
1/2 tsp salt per pint
1 clove of garlic per pint

covering liquid: 1 part vinegar and 1 part water.
Salad or olive oil.

1. Heat peppers in a small amount of oil in a skillet until
the skins blister.

2. Pack the heated peppers into clean pint jars, adding
slivers of carrot, celery and onion.

3. Add garlic and salt.

4. Add cold covering liquid leaving 3/4 of an inch
headspace.

5. Add about an eighth inch of oil to the top of the
covering liquid.

6. Add lids, rings and seal.

7. Process 15 minutes in a simmering hot water bath.

As you can see, the recipe is set for an unspecified number
of processed jars. I am assuming that you are familiar with
canning and will take care of the cleanliness and
sterilization.

Have fun! PJ
