Hello Dear Witches...!
Pickled vegetables are for me an ideal option to keep some of these for longer, and that also adds a delicious taste to some of these, I usually make a jar of about 3 kilos of pickled vegetables once a year, in December, which gives me to use a part in the preparation of the traditional hallacas and I have enough left for a couple of months, since my father also eats them as snacks in some occasions.
The traditional Venezuelan pickle consists of carrots, cauliflower, onions and cucumber, however I usually add some others, or remove them according to my taste or what I have at hand, but what can never be missing in my pickle is the cucumber, because with them I make my beloved pickles, this is the main reason why I make the pickles. Well preserved pickles in a properly sterilized and well sealed container can last up to 2 years, which makes pickles a long lasting way to preserve vegetables and even some fruits.
The preparation of the pickles is a bit methodical and a bit long, but it is certainly very easy, and the results are certainly excellent, it is a recipe that is certainly worth the effort, and you will surely love it as much as I do. Come with me and I'll show you how to make them. Enjoy!
Ingredients
Preparation
In a pot with enough space to cook all our vegetables add 4 liters of water, 3 tablespoons of salt and a cup of vinegar, bring to a boil and add the carrots, boil for 3 minutes.
After 3 minutes add the cauliflower and let it boil for about 5 more minutes, after 4 minutes add the cucumber and peppers, and let it boil for the other minute, turn off the fire.
At this point we will proceed to drain the vegetables, keeping this water, and in a bowl we will have water with ice, we put the vegetables still hot in the water with ice to cut the cooking of them and that we have the right texture. Once the vegetables are cold, we drain them again. While we prepare the brine that consists of, the two cups of vinegar remaining, the rest of the salt, sugar and turmeric powder, if you want to add pepper you can do it, I did not do it since the peppers are spicy, we added 2 cups of the cooking water of the vegetables.
Having our containers previously sterilized we started to assemble our pickle, I use a mega giant jar hahaha, since half of it is spent in one preparation and then I only have a little bit of vegetables and pickles left. Once the vegetables are arranged to our taste, we proceed to add the brine, the idea is that this liquid reaches the top of the jars, since this will be the preservative of these vegetables. We cover and pasteurize, for which we put the glass jar in a pot of boiling water, trying to make it reach the middle of the jar, we cover the pot and let it cook for a couple of minutes, until the lid of the jar makes the vacuum and is sealed.
It is advisable to consume them a couple of days after they have been prepared, so that their flavour is concentrated and impregnated with a little bit of vinegar and the spices that we add to the pickle, and in my case the spiciness of the peppers. The truth is that the spice adds a delicious flavor to them, and then I will show you how to use these pickles in a delicious mustard sauce, for our burgers.

Those really look good and we have something similar here in our country. Difference is we use young papaya with other veggies that are shredded and is a little sweeter.

That's a great practice that more people should get into. There's a lot of talk about what we can be done to make eating more sustainable, but one thing that seems to escape any of the hate is how much people now eat out-of-season fruits and vegetables shipped from all over the world. If they could preserve vegetables like this (maybe even ones they grow themselves), they would be a lot better off. Thanks for sharing!

That's right, it's one of the best ways to keep the fruits and vegetables we can even harvest in our gardens, and enjoy them out of season!

This looks wonderful @fmbs25! Tell me, does little Mathias enjoy these pickeled veggies? I would love to make these for my grandson as he loves pickles! Such a great way to get more veggies in the diet :)

I tell you that Mathias has been bad for me to eat, lately I have had to fight a lot with him to eat his vegetables, that's why I include them in sweet things and I also make his vegetable meat with vegetables which is how I have managed to eat, however these somewhat acidic flavors are not tolerated yet, I have not had much luck with that.
