Pickled Jalapeno Recipe




Yesterday we got knocks on our door which does not happen often and it was our good neighbor. She was all smiling as she handed me a plateful of fresh picked jalapeno from her garden. Thank you neighbor! 


I am not big on spicy food, okey sometimes and it depends on the dish so it got me thinking what to make out of this plateful of fresh jalapeno as I don't want it to go to waste. I like pickles specially papaya achara so that gave me idea. 

I did not waste any time so I rinsed and rinsed and started cutting then I start to feel the burn from my nose to my eyes. Kids started complaining too but there is no stopping now.
