published Jul 14, 2023, updated Aug 14, 2024 For me, pickling is pure joy! I love the process of transforming nature’s bounty into a perfectly preserved product. Today’s recipe for Mediterranean-inspired giardiniera is a great way to get started. Even if you have never pickled or canned a day in your life, this recipe for Italian pickled vegetables is a great way to learn. And please don’t be intimidated! I’ve included instructions for both canning or simply making a quick batch to serve within days. The choice is yours! And, speaking of choice, don’t be afraid to toss whatever garden vegetables you have on hand in the mix. After all, giardiniera translates literally to mean gardener. If you can grow it, you can pickle it! For more pickled recipes, check out my recipes for Quick Lemon Pickles and Middle Eastern Pickled Turnips! Love this recipe?
