Pickling

directions

1. 1

   wash and slice your vegetables and add to a mason jar. add in other spices if using.

2. 2

   add the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt to a saucepan and bring to a boil, simmer for 1 min. ensure the sugar and salt have dissolved, then let cool slightly and pour over the vegetables. do not pour boiling brine straight into the jar.

3. 3

   the length of time required to pickle will vary based on how thick you sliced your vegetables. for very thinly sliced red onions, they would be ready in 1 hr, but up to 24 hrs for thicker slices.

notes

keeps a month in the fridge, under the brine.
