Just wondering if you ever can the Giardiniera? Now that all the fresh vegetables are plentiful I would love to preserve this tasty treat for winter.

Can you can this treat? I would like to make more than 4 servings. I use it in my macaroni salad recipe with tuna and ranch dressing instead of mayo. Thanks
