HOT ITALIAN GIARDINIERA

I scoured the net looking for a recipe for this, since I couldn't find any giardiniera at our local grocery to have with Chicago Italian Beef Recipe #30484. I found this recipe by PHONETEK on AllRecipes.com, and tweaked it to suit my family's preferences. I use fresh jalapenos in the summer, and pickled ones through the winter. Because we use this directly in the Italian Beef recipe, I cut out a good quantity of the oil. Note: the cook time is the marinating time. Posted here for safekeeping.
