Steps:
- Wash Brussels sprouts. Remove stems, rough-looking outer leaves. Any that are larger than 5 cm (2 inches), cut in half (through the stem so they will stay together.) Blanch for 4 minutes, counting the time from the time from when the water comes back to the boil. Plunge into cold water; let cool them drain well.
- In a large pot, combine the onion, pepper, vinegar, mustard seed, celery seed, turmeric, red pepper flakes, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Divide the Brussels amongst the jars you are using: either quarter-litre (1/2 US pint) or half-litre (1 US pint) jars.
- Leave about 3 cm (1 inch) free at the top of each jar.
- At this step, you will know if you need extra jars.
- [Optional] Add a cardamom pod and 2 or 3 peppercorns to each jar.
- [Optional] Add an 1/8th teaspoon Pickle Crisp to each jar.
- Using a slotted spoon, divide the onion and pepper amongst the jars.
- Leave 2 cm (1/2 inch) headspace
- Fill the jars with the brine. Leave 2 cm (1/2 inch) headspace.
- Debubble, adjust headspace.
- Wipe rims.
- Put lids on.
- Process in a water bath or steam canner.

Steps:
- Soak Brussels sprouts in a large bowl filled with lightly salted water for about 15 minutes. Drain well.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
- Divide the drained Brussels sprouts evenly between jars, filling the jars about 3/4-inch from the top.
- Place 1 garlic clove and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes in each jar.
- Bring vinegar, water, and pickling salt to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat until the salt is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the vinegar mixture into the jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top.
- Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles.
- Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot, and fill stockpot halfway with water.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary, until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool.
- Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area, and wait at least 3 weeks before opening.

PICKLED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
This year, when I asked my brother what he wanted for his 31st birthday, he answered, "pickled Brussels sprouts." I had never even tasted a pickled Brussels sprout before. It's hard for me to say "no" to my younger brother, so he got his wish and thought the Brussels sprouts were delicious! -Heather King, Frostburg, Maryland
