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." 2 Wash the chiles and with a toothpick poke several holes near the stem before packing in the jars. 3 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. 4 Allow the chiles and vegetables to pickle for 2 to 3 weeks before serving.
