In the states of Sonora and Sinaloa, fresh green and red Chiltepins are preserved in vinegar and salt. They are used as a condiment or are popped into the mouth when eating any food--except, perhaps, oatmeal. Since fresh Chiltepins are not available in the U.S., adventurous cooks and gardeners must grow their own. The tiny chiles are preserved in three layers in a 1 pint, sterilized jar.

NOTE: this recipe requires advanced preparation.



Ingredients


  • Fresh red and/or green Chiltepins (as many as you want to pickle)

  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled

  • 3 teaspoons salt

  • 3 tablespoons cider vinegar

  • water



Instructions


Fill the jar 1/3 full of Chiltepins. Add 1 clove garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and one tablespoon cider vinegar. Repeat this process twice more and fill the jar to within 1/2 inch of the top with water.

Seal the jar and allow to sit for 15 to 30 days.
