Prepare sterilized jars by boiling them in water for 10 minutes.

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add bratwurst to brown on all sides for 5-7 minutes.

Remove bratwurst and set aside; drain excess fat from the pot.

Add onions and garlic to the pot, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in water, vinegar, salt, sugar, and spices; bring to a simmer.

Return bratwurst to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.

Simmer for 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Pack bratwurst and vegetables into sterilized jars, leaving 1 inch of headspace.

Pour hot brine over the bratwurst in jars, ensuring they are fully covered.

Seal jars with lids and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.

Remove jars and let cool completely at room temperature.

Check seals and store in a cool, dark place for at least 1 week before consuming.
