Pickled Me Some Veggies!

So, I wanted to try my hand at some pickled vegetables.  I'm not much into canning frankly because it's work!  But, I happened onto some recipes, some time back, showing how to prepare pickles for the refrigerator.  They don't keep as long supposedly because they're not traditionally "canned", but they do keep for months and that is long enough for me considering how quickly they can be done.

So, the stars aligned as I gathered a bunch of peppers I didn't want to waste.  More of my mind opened to this new-fangled fridge pickling and I wondered if I could pickle me some peppers as Pepperoncini peppers are done.  I really enjoy these peppers and although I didn't have that specific pepper, I figured the ones I do have should do nicely, right?  I'm going to go for it.  I'm not wasting my fruits because I simply can't eat them.  I'll pickle them suckers!  And, while I'm pickling, I'm going to try a couple recipes and other vegetables too.

For a bread & butter recipe, I picked green San Marzano Redorta tomatoes, Texas Legend onion, Red Ace Beets, and squash from my breeding.  For the dill recipe, I pickled Mariachi & Flaming Flare peppers.  I have never done this before so follow this turkey at your own risk!  I'll reveal the taste after a week or so.  Here's the video.  Had lots of fun doing it all.
