Made by blanching cauliflower florets to just the right point and jarring them in a vinegar brine, this pickle contains no sugar, making it a diabetic-friendly way to preserve for winter. Watching the blanching time closely is the key to keeping its crunch.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the cauliflower

10 min

Break the cauliflower into small florets and wash them.

2

Blanch it

3 min

Blanch the florets in boiling water for exactly 3 minutes, then plunge them straight into ice water; going over this time and they lose their crunch.

3

Boil the brine

10 min

Boil the vinegar, water, salt, peppercorns, bay leaf and mustard seed together in a pot to make the brine.

4

Pack the jars

10 min

Pack the cooled cauliflower florets and peeled garlic cloves into clean jars, then pour the boiling brine over them.

5

Let it mature

20160 min

Store the jars in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks; the flavor fully settles in during this time.

Reminder

Never extend the blanching time; cauliflower boiled past 3 minutes stays soft in the pickle and never regains its crunch.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you can't find mustard seeds, you can leave them out; it changes the flavor slightly but won't spoil the result.

Tam 3 dakikalık haşlama uyarısını dikkatle uyguladım, iki hafta sonra açtığımda çiçekler hâlâ çıtır çıtırdı.
