Pickled Jalapeno Peppers image

This is a fresh pickle and must be stored in the fridge and used within a week. They have these at the taco trucks in the San Francisco Bay Area ready to eat along with the tacos. My DBF gets sent back to the truck if he forgets to bring these home ;) Don't forget to wear rubber gloves when handling chiles.
