Pickles 2 (No Vinegar)
Ingredients:
1. Cauliflower
2. Carrots
3. Garlic
4. Hot peppers
5. Salt
6. Celery (only tender stems) (optional)
Directions:
Wash all the veggies and let them dry.
Cut them to large pieces. Don’t need cut garlic cloves just peel them.
In a big pot bring as much as water you need to boil. Add 1 and a half of tbsp salt for every liter of water (Taste it you should feel it salty). Let boil for 5 minutes.
Turn the heat off.
Select an appropriate glass (preferred) or plastic jar. Start to fill the jar with veggies in layers (some cauliflower, some carrot, some celery a few garlic cloves and some hot pepper (if fresh hot peppers are not available just use dried red pepper).
Repeat the process until jar gets full.
Check water salt temperature it should not burn you and should be almost lukewarm.
Pour the water salt over the jar when it is full try to remove the air between ingredients if there are any. Close the jar lid. If you keep it in refrigerator or cold outside it takes about two or three months to get ready but if you keep it in warmer place such as kitchen it may ready earlier but there will be a chance of spoiling (I think).
