   "This basic recipe can be used for pickling chiles
  either alone or with a combination of other
  vegetables. 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."
  
   Wash the chiles and with a toothpick poke several
  holes near the stem before packing in the jars.
  
   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.
  Allow the chiles and vegetables to pickle for 2 to 3
  weeks before serving.
