GIARDINIERA, SWEET AND/OR HOT (PICKLED VEGETABLES)
Giardiniera is a mixture of pickled veggies, usually served as a condiment, side dish, or mixed into salads. Here is a recipe for making both the sweet or the hot variety. Basically its the same vegetable mix, the sweet version contains sugar in the marinating liquid, the hot version does not. The sweet version takes 2 days to marinate. The hot version takes 2 to 3 weeks. Since I don't can, I can't give you instructions for that....sorry. The "cook time" is the marinating time for the sweet version.

Tips:
- Choose the right celery. Use fresh, crisp celery stalks that are free of blemishes. The best celery for giardiniera is young and tender, with a mild flavor.
- Cut the celery into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly and absorb the pickling liquid more evenly.
- Use a variety of vegetables. In addition to celery, you can also add other vegetables to your giardiniera, such as carrots, peppers, onions, and cauliflower. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
- Use a flavorful pickling liquid. The pickling liquid is what gives giardiniera its characteristic flavor. Be sure to use a liquid that is flavorful and acidic, such as vinegar or lemon juice.
- Let the giardiniera pickle for at least 2 weeks. This will give the flavors time to develop and mellow. The longer you pickle the giardiniera, the more flavorful it will be.
Conclusion:
Spicy celery giardiniera is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 months. So next time you are looking for a way to add some zing to your meal, try making a batch of spicy celery giardiniera.
