I’ll show you how easy it is to make this famous Mexican relish at home. My three main ingredients are straight from my garden and will be pickled with a vinegar and water solution packed with spices and flavor. This is often called Jalapeños en Escabeche or Jalapeños en Vinagre, but for me it is called delicious! Come along and let’s have yet another garden to table episode!

INGREDIENTS
1 pound of jalapeños, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced, more or less to taste
3-5 small carrots, sliced
6-7 garlic cloves
3/4 tsp black peppercorns
3/4 tsp Mexican oregano
3/4 tsp cumin seeds
Several small bay leaves
1 1/2 cups water*
2 cups white distilled vinegar*
1 tablespoon salt (non-iodzed)
2 tablespoon avocado or olive oil

*might need more liquid, keep this ratio

    Gotta love when people make an effort to learn Spanish words with correct pronunciation. I'm a Texan myself, and growing up I always tried to say English words properly, so it's awesome to see people doing it both ways.
  • I've got to start making your recipe, the classic Mexican style with the carrots and onions. Love the lime juice touch! A Mexican dish without lime is like a day without sunshine.
  • from garden to table....that's the best part of gardening..enjoying your harvest and sharing with others...happy gardening
  • Hey Scott. I just wanted to pass on a little info that might help you and your viewers so here goes. you can follow the exact recipe you just used with only one change and get a totally shelf stable that will never need to go into the fridge unless, of course, you want them cold! If you would just replace the water with an equal amount of vinegar and weigh down the solids, it will be totally safe to never have to be canned or refrigerated. The vinegar is a preservative and a barrier to protect your product. The only purpose for water in the recipe is to make it cheaper to make. If you are so inclined, take a sandwich bag with vinegar in it and use that for a weight to keep everything under the liquid. The extra amount of vinegar does not effect the flavor. It works the same when making pickles or any other substance where a combination of vinegar and water is called for. Want fresh, crispy pickles? Replace the water with vinegar and they don't need to be processed! Hope you find this useful.
  • This looks so good. I’ve been stuffing my jalapeños for the last two weeks here in Tampa Bay Florida. Your recipe is going to be my next cooking adventure.

    I’ve been making these for years! I use the lime juice and Mexican oregano, but none of the other spices. And no oil. (So basically, Mexican oregano, lime juice, RAW jalapeños, baaaarely cooked carrots and onion, sea salt, vinegar and water. And I can them instead of refrigerator pickling them. Of course, I also do it in massive batches to keep him supplied for several months.) Husband is from El Salvador and he goes through them like CRAZY! If you want them more spicy, mix in a few Serranos also! LOVE that you knew the name “molcajete”!!
