I made 8 pints of mixed pickles this evening.

I used halved Rio-Grandes, whole Serranos, Puriras, Thais, and some small
purple ones that may be unripe Bolivian Rainbows, okra, brocoli,
cauliflower, baby corn (from the local Thai shop), sliced carrots, and some
garlic (I forgot to add onion).

Add 1 1/2 tsp. salt/pint (0,5 liter), fill with white vinegar diluted to
2-3% (I use 8% diluted 2:1).

Process 5 minutes in boiling water (pint jars), longer if you like your
pickles less crunchy (or larger jars).
