• Add the garlic, oregano and peppercorns. Stir and cook another minute, until you can smell the garlic.
• Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a quick boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Cool, then transfer to a jar.

JALAPENO CARROTS

Steps:

• Boil carrots briefly, until cooked but not soft. Don't overcook; if in doubt, leave them on the underdone side.
• Drain and place slices in a shallow plastic or glass dish that has a tight-fitting lid.
• Sprinkle oregano over carrots. Pour jalapeño peppers, together with ALL their liquid, on top. Most of the carrot slices should be sitting in the juice and/or covered by a slice of pepper.
• Cover and leave in refrigerator at least 12 hours before using so that the carrots can absorb the flavor.
• Stir and use both carrots and pepper slices as a garnish.
