  "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.
