Scrub jalapenos, trim off stems. Set aside. Into a large, heavy, deep pot pour 1/2 cup oil (enough to coat pot bottom). Heat oil until almost at the smoking point, then turn off or reduce heat. Add onions, garlic & carrots; stir only until onions are clear, making sure not to brown any of the vegetables. Add oregano, bay leaves & salt & stir to mix; then add vinegar & water & bring to a boil, stirring often. Continue to boil & stir until salt is dissolved then add remaining oil & return to a boil. Stir in jalapenos & remove from heat. Fill 16-20 hot sterilized 1-pint canning jars (or 8-10 1-quart jars), leaving 1-1/2 inches head space. Wipe rims clean with boiling water, then seal jars tightly with canning lids & rings. Cool filled jars at room temperature, out of drafts. Store in a cool, dry place until ready to use. Makes 16-20 pints or 8-10 quarts. From the <Hotter Than Hell!>, by Jane Butel, ISBN 0-89586-646-3 (0-89586-542-4 paperback). Downloaded from G Internet, G Internet.
