Directions

A full Pennsylvania Dutch dinner always has "seven sweets and seven sours" as side dishes. This spicy, pickled mixture of farm vegetables is one of the "sours."

Vegetables: In a large container combine zucchini, cauliflower, carrots, celery, onions, and red peppers. Cover with salt water and soak at least three hours. Drain well.

Dressing: Combine all ingredients in a large kettle and bring to a rapid boil. Add drained vegetables and boil three to five minutes. Spoon into sterilized quart canning jars and seal.
