'Pickled-Pink' Vegetables






Simmer the beets in a pot of water, to cover, slowly, untill you can poke them with a fork, that pulls out easily.  Cool, peel and cut into cross sections or quarters.

3        c  water
1-1/2 c  white vinegar
1-1/2  t  black peppercorns
1/3     c  Maple syrup - creates a slightly sweet
              dill flavor, but this can be omitted
1         t  grey Celtic Sea salt - 
               or any non-iodized salt




5  sm    beets - cooked according to directions above
7  med  pickling cucumbers - scrub and cut in chunks
1  med  zucchini - quarter, lengthwise and "chunk"
3  lg      scallions (green onions) - rough cut
2  lg      cloves of garlic - or equivalent - cut in 1/4's

Combine the first 5 ingredients, bring to a boil and pour over all the vegetables in a glass (heat tempered) bowl or crock.  Weigh vegetables down with a plate topped with something heavy, so they're submerged.  When cool, refrigerate for 2-3 days, stirring occasionally and re-submerging.  These will keep in the 'fridge for a couple weeks. . .Lin
