The name literally means "from the garden" in Italian. I love these. I can almost eat a whole jar for lunch or dinner (well, at least half a jar). A perfect accompaniment to any meal as a condiment, appetizer, or side dish.

    SUBSTITUTIONS/ADDITIONS: Jalapenos may be substituted for serranos Asparagus can be used instead of celery 5-6 cherry tomatoes halved may be added NOTE: IF YOU NEED TO ADD MORE VINEGAR/OIL MIXTURE TO COMPLETELY COVER VEGETABLES, THE RATIO SHOULD BE 1 TO 1. 1/2 CUP OF EACH MIXED INTO THE VEGETABLES WILL MORE THAN LIKELY BE SUFFICIENT.
