Method
- In a medium saucepan of boiling water, blanch the cauliflower for 1 minute. Drain and let cool.
- In one 2 1/2-quart heatproof jar or a few smaller jars, pack the cauliflower, carrots, bell pepper, chiles, garlic cloves, thyme sprigs and ginger slices, alternating them in an attractive pattern.
- In the saucepan, combine the vinegar, allspice, sugar, salt and peppercorns and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderately high heat until the sugar dissolves.
- Ladle the pickling liquid into the jar. If necessary, add more vinegar to cover the vegetables.
- Let the pickles cool, then cover with a lid and refrigerate until very flavorful, at least 10 days.
Notes:
Be careful when cutting chiles: to avoid irritation, wear thin rubber gloves and don't touch your face.
