I just finished making this. I've made it several times before and since I can't eat the whole head of cauliflower at one or even two meals this is a great way to use the rest of it.
Pickled Cauliflower
Boiling water 1 T Fresh Lemon Juice 3 c Fresh cauliflower 1 c Fresh onion rings 1/2 Green pepper cut in strips 1/4 Red pepper cut in strips 1 c White vinegar 1 1/4 c Water 1/2 c Sugar 1/2 t Salt 8 Whole black peppercorns 1/2 t Mustard seed 1/2 t Celery seed 1/2 t Tarragon leaves
Pour boiling water and lemon juice over vegetables. Cover and let stand. Combine rest of ingredients. Bring to boil and boil 5 minutes. Drain water from vegetables and add hot vinegar mixture. Cool, cover, refrigerate over night.
I do use fresh tarragon from my garden so I triple the amount. Enjoy.

Yummm!... a red egg, a couple of slices of red onions and beets and really RED cauliflower!!! with S&P! and accompanied with an ice cold beer! nothin better during a football game!

Annie, my Italian grandmother used to make something similiar. She called it, " Gardinera" or something like that. She'd put up all sorts of veggies ie: carrots, beans, cavioflora (cauliflower) etc. So this recipe brought me back a bit! Thanks for sharing! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> Have a great weekend!

Brian, I love pickled beets. In fact I love just about all pickles. Though I have never tried a pickled egg but I do remember them in the bars I frequented in my younger years! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> I lost my favorite pickled beet recipe so if anyone has a tried and true one please post it!

Contessa...only thing I don't really care for in the Gardinera is the oil. At least all the ones I have had do have oil and I am definitely NOT an oil fan.

Annie--something doesn't seem quite right here-- Drain water from vegetables and add hot vinegar mixture. Cook cover, refrigerate over night. COOK COVER??? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
