Instructions

做法

Chop all the vegetables.

將所有蔬菜切好。

Add your desired seasonings to the bottom of each Mason jar.

將醃制調味料按口味放入每個玻璃罐底部。

Carefully place the chopped vegetables into the jars.

將蔬菜塞入玻璃罐中。

Prepare and boil the brine mixture.

將所有鹽水材料混合並煮沸。

Pour the hot brine into the jars, filling them almost to the very top. Cap them tightly and shake vigorously.

將熱鹽水灌至玻璃罐近口位置，擰緊瓶蓋後大力搖勻。

Invert the hot jars and let them sit until they cool down completely. This step helps ensure the lids seal properly. Remember to shake them up occasionally while they cool.

將熱的玻璃罐倒置，直至完全冷卻，有助於密封瓶蓋。期間偶爾搖勻或翻轉。

Refrigerate the giardiniera for at least 2 days, or even longer, as the flavor only improves with time. Continue to shake the jars or flip them over occasionally. Serve with an extra side of vinegar. Enjoy!

放入雪櫃至少2天再享用，越久越好。期間偶爾搖勻或翻轉。上桌時旁邊另備白醋。
