This recipe won first place in Mrs. Wages® Pickling Contest at the 2014 Indiana State Fair. Chuck says the key is to “chunk” up the vegetables. “It’s marvelous and you can eat it the next day!”
Directions
1Place all vegetable ingredients in a large stainless steel bowl and cover with cold water and ice for three hours. Drain and rinse thoroughly twice. Prepare a brine solution, half vinegar, and half water, bring to a boil and pour over drained vegetables for two hours, giving them more resiliency when they are placed in the canning jars. In the meantime, prepare the Mrs. Wages pickle mix as directed.
2Drain the brined vegetables thoroughly and pack the canning jars lightly. Ladle the hot pickling liquid, checking for air bubbles, leaving ½ inch head space. Wipe the rinse and seal with 2-piece lids. Process in boiling water-canning bath for 10 minutes (quarts). Remove and when cool test for seal.
