Hot Italian Giardiniera

white wine vinegar (6% acidity)

cauliflower

red bell peppers (sliced)

serrano chilis

garlic

peppercorns

Sterilize 3 pint-sized canning jars and their lids.

Add the vinegar, water, and salt to a nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a boil.

Divide the vegetables and seasonings between the jars, filling them to within 1-inch of the rims. Ladle the brine into the jars, leaving 1/2-inch of headspace (add more vinegar if needed).

Add 1 tablespoon of oil to each jar. Wipe clean and replace lids. (At this point you can throw them into the fridge and call it a day if you want, otherwise continue on to process them and make them shelf-stable.)

Process the jars in boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove from the water bath and let sit undisturbed for 24 hours; test the seals. Any jars that did not seal properly can be kept in the refrigerator for about 1 week; sealed jars can be kept at room temperature for about 1 year.
