Add the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt to the pot (and add the ground spices here if using ground instead) and bring to a boil.
Remove the pot from the heat and pour the vinegar mixture into the jars over the vegetables. Let cool and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

Ingredients

1/2 head cauliflower, cut into very small florets
1 cup champagne vinegar
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 big shakes hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
2 cloves garlic, smashed
3 bay leaves
1/2 pound chanterelles, cleaned and pulled into bite-size pieces
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Crushed red pepper flakes
1 small bulb fennel, sliced very thin on the mandoline, reserve fronds for serving

2 cups washed baby arugula
Good quality finishing oil

Steps:

Pickled cauliflower:
Combine all the ingredients in covered container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
Salad:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a small baking pan add the mushrooms, oil, salt, and crushed red pepper, to taste, and toss to coat. Roast until the mushrooms are soft and golden around the edges, about 12 to 15 minutes
Toss together the mushrooms, fennel, onion, arugula, fennel fronds, and pickled cauliflower in a large bowl. Toss with some big fat finishing oil and a little of the pickling liquid. Taste and add salt, if needed. The salad should be very flavorful without being soggy. Arrange on individual serving plates and serve.
What a salad- it's springtime on a plate!
The pickled cauliflower adds a lot to this salad but it is a MUST DO ahead. Also, a big batch of these can be made and reserved in the refrigerator
