This stuff is awesome, I toned down the heat a bit because my wife is from St Louis and doesn't do HEAT. One of the other reviews said they thought it could not be canned successfully at home; but I'd differ. There is more than enough salt and acid in this recipe to prevent botulinim from growing. Other Giardiniera has less vinegar and probably wouldn't be safe but this one is acid. Again thanks for posting. I've been away from Chitown for too long. Now if someone would just post a kickin Olive Salad recipe (i.e. Dominic's), life would be good.
