Homemade jalapeños

Hello everyone, this is my first time making homemade jalapeños, with a series of changes during the process and several lessons learned for the future.

500g jalapeños from a controlled production + some from a relative's garden

shallots

garlic cloves

organic black pepper

water with pH 9.5

apple cider vinegar

dried bay leaves

sugar

salt

(I ended up not adding the chili peppers that were in the picture)
