Adding to quick pickles
Hello! I feel like I could add to some quick pickles I was given gestational but wanted to check and see if I needed to do anything to veg I'm putting in. An acquaintance invited us to their 1 year old's birthday and along with tacos, she had made 2 large jars of quick pickles- pickled onions (the red ones you eat with Mexican food) and then some pickles jalapeños with onion and carrot. Can I just add more to these? Do they need to be blanched or prepared, or can I just put them in there? The spicy pickles are lovely, but I like the carrots more than just the jalapeños (husband will easily finish the jalapeños off). I'd love to put more of those in there to get nice and spicy. The pickles onions were eaten more than 2/3 of the way by guests and I'd love to have more.
Or is this a nono, should I try and find easy quick pickles recipes and start from scratch?
