Giardiniara Recipe Video

I really like giardiniara but have never been satisfied with the jarred store bought brands. Recently on the Food Channel I watched a new show called "Sandwich King". They made Chicago style Italian Beef sandwiches topped with a homemade giardiniara. It looked so good that I had to give it a try, so here it is.
