Makes one 12-oz jar

  * Swiss chard stems, cleaned & sliced to fit jar
  * 1 cup white vinegar
  * 1/4 cup sugar (I used agave nectar)
  * 2-3 garlic scapes, slit (kept whole) & chopped
  * 3 tablespoons Sriracha
  * 1/2 teaspoon celery seed

Mix vinegar, sugar, Sriracha, and celery seeds; set aside. Place whole garlic scapes in jar, then chard stems; fill the center with any small bits of stem and chopped scapes. Pour vinegar mixture over stems, seal, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours for flavor saturation. Enjoy as a cool snack or BBQ accompaniment!
