Place onions in salted water and use 2 tablespoons salt to one quart water. Prepare cauliflower , and break into flowerets. Place raw cauliflowerets in a large bowl to soak in a salt and water solution. Drain and rinse well. Precook green beans or place young tender beans raw into a jar and then pour the boiling pickling solution over them.
Spices can vary from a few to many, but regular pickling spice mix is easy to use.
Put the preheated vegetables in a hot pickling solution for several minutes to heat. The vegetables must be hot when you pack them into clean hot jars. Remove air bubbles and seal with pretreated lids as directed by the manufacturer. The filled jars are then processed in a water bath with times varying for specific products.
