Instruction
- Combine first 4 ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the tomatoes with the jalapeños, scallions, and garlic.
- Make pickling juice. In a small saucepan, bring the vinegar to a boil. Immediately reduce the heat to low, and add the sugar and salt. Heat only until the sugar and salt have dissolved, about 30 seconds.Pour the mixture into a bowl to cool and set aside.
- Toast spices and add them to pickling juice. Add the oil to a small sauté or saucepan, and place it over medium heat. Once it's very hot, add the black pepper, cumin, mustard, and cayenne pepper, and stir until it's aromatic, 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir this into the vinegar mixture.Once it's cool, pour the mixture over the tomato mixture and stir to combine.
- Marinate. Refrigerate in an air-tight container for at least 4 hours and up to several days.
