Pretty easy. Cut in half and reserve the seeds off to the sides. Slice the halves into strips. fill the jar with jalapenos, carrots and cuke slices, and 5 cloves of garlic. 1 teaspoon of peppercorns, 2 teaspoons of salt, add jalapeno seeds, fill with half water and half white vinegar. Refrigerate for 30 days before eating. Garlic may turn blue - not a problem.
