10-14
ingredients
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons salt
- 6 -8 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
- 2 teaspoons red chili pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon cracked peppercorn
- 10 -14 celery ribs, peeled and cut into lengths
directions
- Cut celery stalks into lengths to stand up in quart wide mouth jar with a little wiggle room and just enough head room to pour in the brine and place on the lid.
- Bring all ingredients except celery to a boil just so sugar and salt dissolve.
- Remove from heat and pour over celery. Push down and adjust seeds and garlic cloves. Cool for a few minutes, place on the lid, and cool all the way, then refrigerate until completely chilled, 2 or 3 hours. They are now ready to serve in Bloody Marys or on a relish tray.
- NOTE: You can also cut these in lengths to fit a pint jar, or submerged in a bowl, weighing them down with a small plate. In this case, cut the ingredients in half.

I LOVE to cook and bake nearly everything!
I HATE to see people join the site, have no published recipes, but rag on another cook in a review on a recipe they haven't even tried or didn't follow.
Oh, and I hate cilantro, too. :)
