Vegetables

Method

Preparation of Vegetables

  1. 1

    Wash and Cut Vegetables

    Thoroughly wash all vegetables under cold running water. Cut the cucumbers into spears or slices, carrots into thin rounds, bell peppers into strips, and the red onion into thin slices. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prep Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole. You can slightly crush them with the side of a knife for extra flavor.

Making the Brine

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the water, white vinegar, salt, and sugar. Stir well until the salt and sugar are dissolved.

  2. 4

    Add Spices

    Add mustard seeds, black peppercorns, red pepper flakes, and dill seeds to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

  3. 5

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the brine simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes.

Packing and Storing

  1. 6

    Pack the Jars

    In clean, sterilized jars, start layering the vegetables. Begin with cucumbers, followed by carrots, bell peppers, red onion, and garlic cloves. Pack them tightly but avoid crushing.

  2. 7

    Pour the Brine

    Carefully pour the warm brine over the packed vegetables, ensuring they are fully submerged. Leave about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of the jars.

  3. 8

    Seal and Store

    Seal the jars tightly with lids. Allow them to cool at room temperature, then store them in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before consuming. For extended storage, consider water-bath canning.
