Homesick

I love pretending to be a Texan. I say "Y'all" without even thinking about it. I opening admit that bone-in ribeyes are like gifts from heaven. But, I get homesick for San Diego. One treat from my homeland that I love to keep on hand is Hot Carrots. Carrot slices pickled with jalapenos and onions.

Ingredients:

Carrots

Jalapenos 

Onions
Garlic 

Bayleaf

Apple Cider Vinegar

Water

Slice carrots, onions, and jalapenos (use gloves to protect your skin from the oils in the jalapenos). crush garlic but don't totally smoosh them. Throw all the veggies into a stainless steel pot cover with vinegar and water (I go with equal parts vinegar and water). Simmer the veggies until the jalapenos are not bright green any more. 

Put the veggies in a jar and pour over the liquid. Once cooled, place in the frig. Enjoy. 

Save some for me, Mom
