| 1. Prepare brine by dissolving the salt in water. | 2. Mix all the ingredients except the brine in a large bowl. | 3. Add them to the Fermenting Vessel of choice (check description above) packing them down as you go. | 4. Fill each jar with the brine, leaving 1½ -2 inches of headroom—the space at the top, between the rim of the jar and the top of the vegetables. Weight the vegetables so they are completely submerged in the brine. | 5. Cover the top of the vessel with a lid, coffee filter, paper towel, cheese cloth, or tea towel to keep bugs out and odors inches. | 6. Be sure to secure towels with a very tight rubber band or the ring from the canning jars. | 7. Place the jar out of direct light. | 8. Ferment at room temperature 4 days before checking the flavor. If you prefer the flavor more sour, continue fermenting. | 9. If to your taste transfer the jars to the refrigerator. | 10. Burp the jars once daily (to release any built-up gasses) the giardiniera does continue to ferment while in the refrigerator. | 11. This doesn`t need to be done in my home because we help ourselves to it daily. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
