Ingredients

2 cups cauliflower florets
6 serrano peppers, sliced into ¼-inch pieces
4 cloves

Method

Clean and prepare all vegetables. In a large nonreactive pot, bring the brine ingredients to a boil. Once salt is dissolved, add the chopped veggies and bring the mixture back to a boil. Boil on medium-high for 3 minutes and reduce heat to low.

Ladle the hot vegetable mixture into the prepared jars. Use a funnel to safely transfer the mixture into the jars, leaving ¼-inch headspace. Wip
