Pickles and preserves
Cauliflower florets are boiled just enough and packed into jars with a vinegar brine. With no sweeteners, this is a diabetes-friendly way to preserve vegetables for winter. Precise boiling time is the key to keeping them crisp.
Break the cauliflower into small florets and wash them.
Boil the florets for exactly 3 minutes, then transfer immediately to ice water. Cooking them longer will make them lose their crunch.
Bring the vinegar, water, salt, black peppercorns, bay leaf and mustard seeds to the boil in a saucepan to make the brine.
Pack the cooled cauliflower florets and peeled garlic cloves into clean jars and pour over the boiling brine.
Keep the jars in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks to allow the flavor to develop fully.
Do not extend the boiling time: cauliflower cooked for more than 3 minutes will remain soft in the pickle and will not regain its crunch.
