Directions

85 min.
1. Step

Begin by preparing your vegetables. Cut the cauliflower into small bite-sized florets, slice the carrots and bell pepper thinly and set them aside.

2. Step

In a large, non-reactive pot combine water, vinegar, pickling salt, sugar, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, turmeric, dill and sliced garlic. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and salt.

3. Step

Bring the brine to a boil over medium-high heat, and then reduce the heat to medium-low, allowing the brine to simmer for about 10 minutes.

4. Step

Add your prepared vegetables to the simmering brine, stirring to combine and ensuring all the vegetables are covered by the brine. Let the vegetables cook in the brine for about 5 minutes, until they are slightly softened but still crisp.

5. Step

Remove from heat and let the pickled cauliflower cool in the pot. Once cooled, transfer the pickled cauliflower, along with the brine, into clean, sterile jars. Ensure the vegetables are completely covered with the brine.

6. Step

Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before eating to let the flavors fully develop.
