Directions: |
Directions:Combine chopped vegetables and sprinkle with salt. Let stand 4 to 6 hours in the refrigerator. Drain well.
Double the recipe for the vinegar-sugar-spice mixture and simmer 10 minutes. Use a pot large enough to put the vegetable mix in later.
Add vegetables to vinegar-sugar-spice mixture and simmer another 10 minutes. Bring to a boil. Then pack, boiling hot, into clean, heated canning jars, leaving only a 1/8 inch head space. Make sure the vegetables are covered with liquid. Place canning lids and rings on jars and tighten. Place jars in canner. Boil with jars covered with water for 10 minutes. Remove jars from the canner and let them cool. They will seal as they begin to cool. |
