I have been using this recipe for a long time. It is very easy to adjust to your own taste and you can use any vegies you prefer. This amount here makes about 3 pint jars of pickle. Good for cheese and crackers, sandwhich spread and goes great with corned beef. In this recipe I used cauliflower, zucchini, red and green pepper/capsicum, celery and onion.

I am not a trained cook. I just enjoy having time in my kitchen to cook up something nice. I also like to make pickles and other good things to preserve. Always looking for an excuse to fire up my pressure cooker.
