Add the salt to the water and stir into mixture.
Cover and let sit (not in fridge) for 3 to 4 hours.
Drain in colander and rinse completely.
In pot, stir together vinegar, sugar and all other ingredients.
Bring to a boil stirring continuously to dissolve sugar.

minutes
or until mixture is tender.
Spoon into a one pint hot jar (leave about l/2 inch at top of jar).
Close jar with hot cap (the cap where the middle fits into the band).
