#HandcraftedEdibles2015: Refrigerated Pickled Brussels Sprouts

I love these pickles so much!  They are good by themselves, but they are extra special used as a garnish for bloody marys!  So unique and they pack a nice punch, too!

2 lbs Brussels Sprouts
5 whole cloves of peeled garlic
red pepper flakes
5 c water
5 c white vinegar
pickling salt

Soak the vegetables in salt water for 10 minutes.

Divide brussels sprouts between clean and dry jars.  Put in one clove of garlic and 1/3 t red pepper flakes per jar.

Boil vinegar, water and 1 T pickling salt.  Pour into jars, within 1/4 inch from the top.  Remove extra air.  Seal with lids and rings.  Store in the refrigerator up to 30 days.  Let sit at least 24 hours before eating.

    2. Never tried brussel sprouts, my husband hates them. He loves pickles though. Might be worth a try. ;)
