Ingredients
  

  • 8 garlic cloves
  • 4 teaspoons mustard seeds
  • 4 teaspoons coriander seeds
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 4 teaspoons black peppercorns
  • 8 sprigs fresh dill
  • 4 cups water
  • 3 cups white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • vegetables carrots green beans, cauliflower, radishes, cucumbers

Instructions
 

  • Clean and trim your vegetables. Cut up into slices or small chunks so that they are easy to pack into the mason jars.
  • Clean your mason jars in the dishwasher. Then, at the bottom of each jar, sprinkle a little of the spices, a bay leaf, and a couple of garlic cloves.
  • Pack the vegetables into the jars along with a couple of sprigs of dill.
  • Bring the water, vinegar, and salt to a boil to create the brine in a saucepan. Once the salt is dissolved, let it cool slightly and then pour it over the vegetables, making sure to cover them but leaving a little bit of space at the top of the jar.
  • Once the jars have cooled down a bit. Cover with the lid and place in the refrigerator. They will be ready to eat the next day and taste even better after a few days. They should keep for up to 2 months refrigerated.

Notes

Experiment with different combos of fresh veggies in addition to the ones I used here such as asparagus and bell peppers. Try different vinegars such as apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar.
