Preparation

Wash the cauliflower thoroughly then divide it into small "florets". Prepare a solution of water and vinegar with salt and sugar. Then blanch the cauliflower for 2 minutes in this solution and let it cool on a dry cloth. Sterilize the jars, then fill them with the cauliflower florets. Add some peppercorns to the solution in which you boiled the cauliflower. When the solution is almost cold, pour it into the jars up to the brim, then put the lids on and let them sit in cool, dark pace for at least 40 days.

Tips
To best enjoy the result of your labours, let your pickled cauliflower rest for least a month and a half.
Trivia
To avoid filling the house with that distinctive smell that spreads everywhere during cooking, you can add a crumb of bread dipped in vinegar.
