I have cauliflower but it is pickled and so are the beets.

oh yeah.... Gosh I love all things pickled!
I have 2 jars of tiny pickled beets left. I want to open them, but for some crazy reason feel the need to hoard them..Guess I just don't want to have to wait till we finally get more planted & such..but just looking at them isn't getting me anywhere either..
My dad used to make a pickled veggie mix. Cauliflower, peppers, carrots, celery..I know there is more, but can't remember at the moment. It was so good. Found a recipe that looks like what he made, will have to give it go this season.

I just ate your pickles a few months ago.

fridge?...I did give you that recipe right?
DH is still eating them..hahaha, they hold up so well. I treat them just like normal canned. Prep the jars & lids. I make the brine hot so it "seals" the jar. They have kept for 4-5 months so far

I put carrots, jalapenos, garlic and a quarter of an onion in with the cauliflower.

I like to put hard boiled eggs in the pickled beets.

It never lasts long for me either, gets all 'whippy', limp before i get to using it all.
Have tried putting it in 2lb. tall container with a little water in the bottom, cut into sticks, lid on & kept in the fridge.
It stayed so-so, it was better left whole and used as needed.
Will have to try the "Alton Brown" way. Thanks for the info!

Celery stays crisp in the original bag in the vegger bin of my fridge. It takes weeks for it to go limp. I make a lot of soups and stews though.

onions!..how could I forget?!
Eggs in beets, yes..yes..yes!!
4 bean salad is awesome !! green & yellow beans, chick peas, kidney beans, red/yellow & or green peppers, onions...gosh my mouth is watering, hahaha
Have to always have jars of that around too. One of our G-Daughters favorite eats.
Have you ever put up marinated peppers?
They are great on homemade pizzas, burgers, salads..pretty much anything if you like peppers.
I have to get my recipe book out & get some typed up here...might happen sooner rather than later if I can't get to sleep soon.
