Pioneer Woman Canning Pickles Recipes

QUICK PICKLES

Steps:

• Combine the vinegar, sugar, crushed red pepper flakes, seeds and dill with 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
• Toss together the cucumber, jalapeño if using and onion, then transfer to a wide-mouth quart size Mason jar. Carefully pour over the warm vinegar mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours or up to 7 days.

QUICK PICKLED BEETS

Steps:

• Place the beets in a large pot and add enough water just to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the beets from the water and let rest until cool enough to handle.
• Using a paper towel, rub the beets all over to remove their skins. Cut the beets into wedges and divide them between two pint-sized canning jars, leaving 1-inch of space at the top of the jar. Add the dill sprigs.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, garlic, peppercorns, mustard seeds and 1½ cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and stir well to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat immediately and pour over the beets, stopping at ½ inch from the rim of the jar. Cover the jars and let cool to room temperature. Transfer to the refrigerator to cool completely.
