  1. In a large heat-safe bowl, combine onion, garlic, and your choice of vegetables. Then top with the dill. Place mustard seeds and peppercorns in a small ziplock bag, cover the bag with a towel, and use a kitchen mallet or rolling pin to crack the mustard seeds and peppercorns up a bit. Then pour them into a coffee filter, add the bay leaf, and tie the filter securely with kitchen string. Add the spices to a medium sized pan along with the vinegars, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar dissolves.
  2. Pour boiling mixture, along with the spices, evenly over vegetables. Let come to room temperature, give everything a stir, and then cover and refrigerate. After 24 hours, discard the spices and transfer pickled vegetables to a large jar or a few smaller jars if desired. Keeps very well for up to a month stored in the refrigerator.
