Ingredients
- 8 cups bite-size cauliflower florets
- 2 1/2 cups water 600 ml
- 1 1/4 cups white vinegar 300 ml
- 3 1/3 tsp kosher salt 20 g
- 5 Tbsp white sugar 60 g
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 Tbsp peppercorns black or a mix of black, white, and red
- 1 Tbsp coriander seeds
- 1/2 Tbsp allspice berries
- 2 bay leaves
- A few twigs of fresh herbs parsley, dill, thyme, oregano, sage, etc.
Instructions
- Soak the cauliflower in water for 15 minutes, cut it into bite-size pieces, rinse well, and drain.
- Rinse a few twigs of fresh herbs, whatever you like or have on hand, and drop to the bottom of a 2-qt pickling or canning jar.
- Next, pack the cauliflower (somewhat tightly) in the jar and set aside.
- Prepare the pickling brine by combining water, salt, sugar, and vinegar in a saucepan, adding garlic, peppercorns, coriander seeds, bay leaves, and allspice berries. Bring the brine to a boil and turn off the heat.
- Immediately pour the brine into the jar; transfer the spices, bay leaves, and garlic. See notes.
- Close the jar with a lid and refrigerate for one week before enjoying. Keep refrigerated.

Notes
- If, after pouring in the pickling brine, you have space unfilled with the liquid, pack in more cauliflower. This will raise the level of the liquid to where you need it.
- Alternatively, you can make an extra 1/4 of the recipe of the brine but without the herbs and spice, just water, salt, sugar, and vinegar.
