Instructions
- Add all ingredients except veggies in a large pan, bring bring to a boil on stovetop.
- Prepare veggies and add to jars, leaving 1″ headspace
- Add brine to jarred veggies (if not quite enough liquid, add water to fill completely, this will vary depending on how packed veggies are)
- Cover jars and turn over several times to mix.
- Place in refrigerator, turn jars to mix again in one hour. Then turn 2x daily to keep them mixed.
