    “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.
