Drain, rinse well twice, drain well.
(this is where the pillowcase tip is wonderful – put it all in a clean pillowcase before soaking – easy to soak, rinse, drain without losing a lot of the veggies)

Bring syrup ingredients to a boil, then add drained veggie mix.
Bring almost to a boil again.
Pack into jars, adding Pickle Crisp as box directs.
Process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
