In a large bowl, combine ingredients. Stir to dissolve sugar.

Vegetables:
Add Vegetables to Marinade and stir gently to coat well. Refrigerate for several hours, or overnight, stirring occasionally. At serving time, drain and arrange on a plate with the broccoli forming a "wreath" around the other vegetables. Serve with toothpicks.

Fun Fact: True to its motto, "Cross Roads of America," Indiana has more miles of Interstate Highway per square mile than any other state. The Indiana state motto can be traced back to the early 1800s. In the early years river traffic, especially along the Ohio, was a major means of transportation. The National Road, a major westward route, and the north-south Michigan Road crossed in Indianapolis. Today more major highways intersect in Indiana than in any other state.
