Pickled Vegetables
« on: March 07, 2005, 06:45:54 PM »
My favorite is pickled string breans.  But many other vegetables are good also.  Like carrots, peeled brocholi stems, califlower, bell peppers, celery, tiny onions, and radishes.

It's very easy.  All you need are clean jars and tight fitting lids.  Vinegar, dill, salt, and whatever other spices you like.  I always add whole cloves of fresh garlic.  Sometimes I add left over pickle juice from store bought pickles.

Add fresh or dried dill to your vinegar.  About a teaspoon of salt per quart of vinegar.  Pepper or other spices.  Let is sit for a while and then taste it.  Add more spices and salt if needed, or more vinegar if you over did something.

Just wash your vegies very well.  Drop them into boiling water and them remove immediately.  You don't want to cook them!  You want them to be crunchy.

Fill the jars with loosely packed vegies to about an inch from the lip of the jar. 
Then fill the jar with the spiced up vinegar, covering all of the contents.  Secure the lid and place in the refrigerator.

Wait at least three weeks before tasting.  Allways keep in the refrigerator.
