Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cup sliced vegetables
1 cup vinegar ((our go-to is apple cider, distilled white, or red wine))
1 cup water
3/4 tsp sea salt ((depending on vegetable used and preferred saltiness))
1 Tbsp cane sugar ((or sub stevia to taste))

Steps:

Add sliced vegetables to a mason jar or glass container. Set aside.
To a small saucepan add vinegar of choice, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and stir to fully dissolve salt and sugar. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt or sugar to taste.
Pour the brine over the vegetables, ensuring they are fully submerged. If needed, add more vinegar or a little water to cover. *When pickling cucumbers, we generally like to let the brine cool so the cucumbers maintain their color and crunch.
Seal well and shake to combine. Then refrigerate for at least 1 hour. The flavors will deepen and intensify the longer it marinates. Best flavor is achieved after 24 hours.
Will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks (sometimes longer). Not freezer friendly.

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Fine sea salt or kosher salt
1 head purple cauliflower, cut into florets
2 carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch discs
2 ribs celery with leafy tops, sliced
1 cup green Sicilian olives, pitted
2 Italian cherry peppers, sliced
1 cup white balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
2 bay leaves

Steps:

Blanch the cauliflower, carrots and celery in salted boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, then transfer to a heatproof shallow bowl (do not shock in cold water as you normally would when blanching). Toss with the olives and cherry peppers. The warm vegetables will soak up some of the brine.
Combine the vinegar, 1 cup water, the sugar, 2 rounded tablespoons salt and the bay leaves in a pot. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt, then pour over the vegetables. Let cool, tossing occasionally. Serve at room temperature. Refrigerate any leftovers.
