ingredients

4 ounces whole fresh green beans
3 stalks celery, cut in strips
1 cup peeled and sliced carrots
1 1/2 cup cauliflower florets
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup pearl onions
1/2 cup fresh serrano or jalapeno peppers, seeded and sliced
1/2 cup coarse salt
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups cider vinegar
2 cups water

directions

Place the green beans, celery, carrots, cauliflower florets, broccoli florets, onions, and peppers in a large glass jar.

Add the salt, peppercorns, and cloves. Pour in the vinegar and water. Cover the jar and gently shake or turn the jar to mix.

Place the jar in the refrigerator for 2 days before using or for up to 2 weeks. After 2 weeks the pickled vegetables may begin to break down so it's best to use it within the first week.

common recipe questions

Can I use this recipe for a single vegetable? Like if I wanted only spicy pickled green beans?

Just keep the proportions of veggies to pickling mixture. In other words, increase the amount of green beans to replace the vegetables you aren't using and use the same amount of salt, peppercorns, cloves, vinegar, and water.
