fermenting Fermenting in the refrigerator?

Question, I bought a can of those Jalapenos and Carrots. I poured them in a Mason Jar added some Tabasco Scorpion Sauce and some more Jalapeno Juice from a jar of Pickled Jalapenos, then added fresh carrots, onions and cucumbers.  I have been snacking on this big jar in the fridge for three weeks. Today I pull it out to get some carrots and this thing is bubbling like mad. What the heck have I done? Is this stuff fermenting? Is it bad bacteria? Should I throw it out?
 
 
Pics would help.  The fresh ingredients you introduced to the jar *might* be fermenting, but I'd imagine the combination of the hot sauce/pickle juice would have introduced enough vinegar to keep them from fermenting.
