Unsaved Homemade Hot Pepper Giardiniera

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp Kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups Distilled White Vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups Water
  • 1 tbsp Whole black peppercorns
  • 1 cup Fresh broccoli florets, cut into smaller pieces to fit into jars as needed
  • 1 cup Cauliflower florets, cut into smaller pieces to fit into jars as needed
  • 1 cup Fresh petite carrots, or as needed
  • 1 cup Hot Hatch peppers, sliced on a bias
  • 1/2 cup Fresh red jalapeños or fresh Fresno chiles, sliced on a bias
  • 2 Large Peeled Garlic Cloves, crushed, approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of an ounce

Instructions

  1. Add salt, sugar, vinegar, water and peppercorns to a small pot and bring to a simmer just long enough to dissolve salt and sugar.
  2. Once dissolved, remove from heat and allow to sit to cool slightly (it should still be warm).
  3. While brine is cooling, evenly divide vegetables between 2 pint Mason jars, packing tightly. Add one crushed garlic clove to each jar.
  4. Strain out peppercorns from brine while mixture is still slightly hot and discard. Add brine to fill each jar to top rim so vegetables are fully submerged.
  5. Place lids on jars and tighten so they don't leak but are not fully tightened, allowing a little air to escape while chilling in the refrigerator. Set jars upside down in fridge, sitting on their lids for 1 hour before flipping and tightening jars further. Keep refrigerated for up to 3 weeks.
