Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 onions, halved and thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup natural cane sugar
  • 1 cup julienne carrots

  • 1 cup finely diced red bell pepper
  • 2 teaspoons pickling spice (available in many natural foods stores)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 bay leaves

Instructions

  • In a large, heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat, add garlic, and cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add vinegar and bring to a boil. Stir in sugars and return to a boil, stirring constantly.
  • Heat four 1-cup jars and lids.
  • Add carrots, zucchini, rutabaga or radish, pepper, spice, and salt to the boiling mixture. Simmer gently for 35-40 minutes, stirring frequently, until liquid is thickened and vegetables are crisp-tender.
