Serves: 4
 

Ingredients:

1 bunch Fresh chiles of choice
1/2 pieces water
1/2 pieces vinegar
1 teaspoon Non-idodized salt per pint of liquid
1 medium Cauliflower
1 medium Broccoli -- in flowerets
2 medium carrots -- cut in coins
12 small Pearl onions
6 cloves Garlic -- whole
1 can Green olives
 

Preparation:

"This basic recipe can be used for pickling chiles either alone or with a combination of other vegetables. Choose the mixture of vegetables desired, the amount and type of chiles, and arrange them attractively in a jar before covering with the pickling solution." Wash the chiles and with a toothpick poke several holes near the stem before packing in the jars. Combine the water, vinegar, and salt in a pan and boil for a minute. Pour the hot mixture over the vegetables leaving 1/4 inch head space and cover. Allow the chiles and vegetables to pickle for 2 to 3 weeks before serving.
