"This basic recipe can be used for pickling chiles either alone or with a combination of other vegetables. Choose the mixture of vegetables desired, the amount and type of chiles, and arrange them attractively in a jar before covering with the pickling solution."

Wash the chiles and with a toothpick poke several holes near the stem before packing in the jars.

Combine the water, vinegar, and salt in a pan and boil for a minute. Pour the hot mixture over the vegetables leaving 1/4 inch head space and cover. Allow the chiles and vegetables to pickle for 2 to 3 weeks before serving.
