Pickled Jalapeño Chiles

In Oaxacan marketplaces there are always plastic bags full of freshly pickled jalapeños—very good, but the ones that diligent cooks usually prefer to make at home are fantastic. It’s a good way to preserve a bumper crop of jalapeños. Whenever my recipes call for pickled jalapeños, the canned variety will do but the homemade version will transform the dish.
