Carrots, peeled and cut into strips or halved lengthwise
French green beans
Cauliflower
Red peppers
Chilis, or jalapeños
Mason Jars
Steps
Create a brine by bringing 4 cups of water to a boil, reduce the heat so the water simmers and add the garlic and cook for 5 minutes. Then add the vinegar and salt and raise the heat to a boil, stirring until the salt dissolves. Remove from heat.
In mason jars, place a few sprigs of dill in each. Divide the seeds and peppercorns between the jars. Place the garlic from the brine into each jar. Pack the jars with the vegetables like a Christmas Stocking. I make a game by moving, adding, cutting and stuffing to try and get something in every crevice of the jar.
Bring the brine back to a boil and pour it over the vegetables, being sure to cover completely, let cool and refrigerate.

Karin on 2021-08-13 (5 stars): These are the best pickles I’ve ever made or even had in a long time! I’ve been searching for a good, sugar free pickling recipe for so long. This one is so good, you would never miss the sugar. I have pickled cucumbers, peppers, green beans, and carrots so far. I can’t stop eating them straight out of the jar and can’t wait to make more! Thanks so much for the great recipe!!!!!!
