This is great recipe and my family loves it. Personally I do it with white vinegar, water, salt, little bit of sugar and I add couple of garlic cloves at the bottom of the jar (I don't boil it). I leave the jar flipped upside down for 2-3 days and then keep in the fridge. Bon Appetite!

I can't believe I found a recipe for these! I had these once in a restaurant, and couldn't stay away from them! I used rutabaga to make these, and it came out great. Bitter, sweet, salty, and crunchy, all at once! Thanks for posting this, Nathalie!!
