Servings 12
Ingredients
- 3 cups cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 2 cups water
- 1 ½ cups celery, chopped
- 1 cup bell peppers, different colors
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, sliced
- 6 clove garlic, smashed
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons monk fruit/allulose
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons fennel seeds
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Add the water, white vinegar, salt and sweetener to a saucepan over medium high heat. This will become the brine that will pickle the veggies.
- Bring to a simmer and whisk until the sweeter and salt has dissolved.
- Add the olive oil, fennel seeds, dried oregano, mustard seeds, celery seed and red pepper flakes to your mason jars, splitting them up evenly. I used 2 quart-size mason jars with the wide mouth for easy loading. Alternatively, you can use several smaller jars if that's what you have on hand.
- Next add in your cauliflower florets, sliced jalapeño pepper, carrots, celery, bell pepper and smashed garlic cloves.
- Pour the hot brine over the veggies in each jar.
- Add the lids on and shake. Allow to sit at room temp for 1 hour, then refrigerate for up 1 day before eating. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
