Wash and dry 2 pint-sized containers. Add the herbs, spices, garlic. Wash & cut vegetables and pack the containers tightly until 1/2 inch from the top.

Combine the vinegar, water, salt and sugar over high heat. Bring to a boil stirring. Cool a bit and pour to fill the containers, still leaving 1/2 inch of air. Remove any air bubbles.
