2. Take out the bay leaves and pepper seeds and let the liquid cool for 10 minutes.
3. Arrange the vegetables in jars to use as much space as possible.
4. Add  mustard seeds and dill in each jar.
5. Put the jars on metal (pots, knives etc) to avoid cracking when you pour the hot liquid prepared earlier over the vegetables in jars.
