Pickled Vegetables

My mother-in-law served these up with dinner tonight. She made them about a week ago and they are so good! If you love pickled things, you'll love these. They have a little bite to them because of the jalapenos.

 She doesn't know the measurements, but she did tell me what went into this beautiful jar. I guess it's just one of those recipes that you have to eyeball and hope for the best. I would guess it's probably 1:1 for the vinegar and water.


Pickled Vegetables

Ingredients
  • cauliflower, cut into bite-size chunks
  • celery, sliced
  • carrots, cubed
  • Persian cucumbers, sliced
  • garlic cloves
  • jalapenos, seeded (or not, it's up to you) and sliced
  • cider vinegar
  • boiling water
  • salt
Directions
  1. Place all the vegetables into the jar. Mix the vinegar, water and salt and pour over the vegetables to about 1/2" from the top of the jar. Seal it and let it sit in the cupboard for at least a week. My MIL says you don't have to refrigerate these ever. I probably will though. I tend to refrigerate most things after I open them, unless the label specifically tells me not to.
  2. I suppose if you wanted to make many jars, you should go through a canning process of some sort, but I'm not an expert on that. These would make a pretty awesome Christmas gift! Hmm. Maybe I need to do some research on this canning business.
