Wash the jalapenos thoroughly under cold water and dry them with a towel.
Slice the jalapenos into thin rings. For less heat, discard some or all of the seeds.
Peel the garlic cloves and lightly crush them with the side of a knife.
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, and kosher salt.
Add the garlic cloves, black peppercorns, and dried oregano to the saucepan.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar and salt have dissolved completely. Do not bring to a boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the sliced jalapenos to the hot liquid. Stir gently to submerge the jalapenos.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Transfer the jalapenos and brine into a clean glass jar, ensuring the jalapenos are submerged. Seal the jar with a lid.
Store the pickled jalapenos in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to develop. They will keep for up to 1 month refrigerated.
