1

Start by washing all your vegetables thoroughly. Peel the carrots and cut them into thin sticks. Slice the cucumber and radish into rounds, and julienne or slice the jalapeno as per your spice preference.

2

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of vinegar, 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add 1 teaspoon each of black peppercorns and mustard seeds.

3

Bring this mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt fully dissolve. This usually takes about 5 minutes.

4

Once the mixture is boiling, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

5

In a clean glass jar, layer your prepared vegetables: start with the carrots, followed by cucumbers, radishes, and jalapenos. Add the garlic cloves in between the layers for added flavor.

6

Pour the brine over the vegetables until they are fully submerged. You can use a spoon to push down any floating veggies.

7

Seal the jar tightly and let it cool to room temperature, which will take about 10-15 minutes.

8

Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, let it sit overnight.
