To each sterilized quart jar, add: 1 tbsp. vegetable oil 1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. mustard seed
Pack vegetables in jars and fill with boiling brine.
Cover all the vegetables completely.
Seal the jars and allow to cool.

Water bath is optional but do it for 15 minutes for quarts.

BRINE:

1/2 gallon water
I 1/4 c. sugar

This quantity of brine fill 7 to 8 jars of vegetables.

 

Note: I left out the vegetable oil in the second year because I hated the feel it gave to the veggies.
