Time: 10 minutes, plus 5 days’ standing time

6 jalapeno peppers (3 ounces)
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
3 teaspoons kosher salt.

1. Wearing rubber or latex gloves, slice peppers very thinly. Place them in a jar and stir in vinegar and salt. Cover loosely with a lid, or with cheesecloth and a rubber band.

2. Refrigerate for five days, then close lid tightly. Keep stored in refrigerator; peppers will last for several weeks or months.

Yield: 1 1/2 cups.
