12 baby eggplants, with stems intact
Make a 1" (2-1/2cm) slit in each eggplant. Place the eggplants in a saucepan with a large amount of lightly salted boiling water and cook until just tender (about 10 to 12 minutes). Drain, cool and transfer the eggplants to a large crock or jar.
In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients with about 4 cups of water. Pour this mixture over the eggplants. If necessary, add water so that the eggplants are covered.
Cover the container tightly and let stand at room temperature for 3 to 4 days. To serve, drain and serve whole.
