Guids Pickled Hot Veggies Recipes

HOW TO MAKE QUICK PICKLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Add sliced vegetables to a mason jar or glass container. Set aside.
• To a small saucepan add vinegar of choice, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and stir to fully dissolve salt and sugar. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt or sugar to taste.
• Pour the brine over the vegetables, ensuring they are fully submerged. If needed, add more vinegar or a little water to cover. *When pickling cucumbers, we generally like to let the brine cool so the cucumbers maintain their color and crunch.
• Seal well and shake to combine. Then refrigerate for at least 1 hour. The flavors will deepen and intensify the longer it marinates. Best flavor is achieved after 24 hours.
• Will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks (sometimes longer). Not freezer friendly.
