Directions

1

Mix chopped vegetables. Sprinkle over them 1/2 cup salt (I use a non-iodized product) and let stand overnight. The next day, drain the mixture well. Tie the spices in a cheese cloth or clean cotton square. Add sugar and spices to vinegar and bring just to a boil then simmer for about 20 minutes. Add the vegetables and other ingredients. Bring to a simmer again and cook just until hot throughout. Pack into hot jars and seal at once.
