How to Make a Quick Pickle :
Ingredients :
- Pick your veggies ( this recipe works best with peppers, onions, garlic, cucumbers, etc. ) 10-15 Jalapeno’s with about 6 spring onions will pickle with full brine recipe. The size of your produce can effect this number, you may need to create the brine first before choosing your veggies.
- 6 cups of Water
- 2 cups of White Vinegar
- 1/2 cup of salt (we use pink Himalayan in our tutorial)
- 1/4 tsp. Turmeric
- Optional: 1 tbsp. Alum (This will keep your veggies crisp through the process)
Preparation:
- Thoroughly wash your produce, remove any seeds, and slice into thin or thick rings, Whatever you prefer.
- Combine water, vinegar, salt, turmeric, and Alum into a large pot. Bring to a simmer allowing everything to dissolve. Once dissolved simmer for 1 minute and remove from heat.
- Place veggies in a heat safe bowl and pour your pickling mixture over.
- Once mixture is cool, you can put into glass canning jars, or simply put them in a lidded container in the fridge. We recommend allowing the veggies to sit at least overnight for the best flavor.
The end product will last 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator.
