Make the brine: Boil 2 cups each white vinegar and water, 1/4 cup kosher salt, 2 bay leaves, 3/4 cup sugar, the zest and juice of 1 lemon, and 1 teaspoon each peppercorns and coriander seeds; pour over the vegetables, then let cool. Chill at least 4 hours.

HOW TO PICKLE ANY VEGETABLE

Steps:

• Go for whichever vegetable you are craving and cut them into spears, rounds, slices, whatever shape you'd like.
• Wash and label your jars.
• Divide out seasonings and spices into jars.
• Add the prepared vegetables to the clean jars
• Bring vinegar brine mixture to a boil, dissolving salt and sugar.
• Pour hot brine liquid carefully into the jars with a funnel.
• Gently tap the jars against the counter a few times to remove all the air bubbles. Top off with more brine if necessary.
• Cover the jars with lids and let cool on the countertop. Place into the refrigerator. They are pickled within 6-8 hours but develop much more flavor within 1-2 days.
• Note: These pickles are not canned. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

EASY PICKLED VEG

QUICK AND EASY PICKLED SANDWICH VEGGIES

Steps:

• Pack the carrots, daikon radish, cucumber, and jalapeno (if using) into a 500ml (16oz) jar. If you have more room in your jar, just matchstick up a bit more veg and add it to the jar so that it is full.
• Stir all the pickling liquid ingredients together in a measuring cup or (another vessel that is easy to pour from) until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Pour over the veggies until the jar is filled to the top. If you have leftover pickling liquid, just discard it. Let the veggies pickle for as little as 15 minutes before using, or store covered in the fridge for over a week.

EASY HOMEMADE PICKLE

Steps:

• Cut or slice up the veg into fine or chunky pieces, depending on what you're looking for. I quite like purposely cutting each veg differently - some diced, some into erratic chunks, some sliced delicately and some more thickly.
• Place all the veg in a sterilised airtight jar, add 125ml of water, along with the vinegar, salt, sugar and herbs and spices, if using. Close the lid and give it a good shake.
• Keep in the fridge for up to 8 weeks, or you can absolutely use it right away - it will start off tasting quite sharp and crunchy, then relax into itself over a period of a few weeks. This pickle is brilliant in sandwiches and salads, on a cheese board, or as a side to curries and stir-fries.

EASY PICKLED VEGETABLES CAULIFLOWER, RED PEPPERS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Wash vegetables. Cut carrots into 1/2 centimeter rounds. Cut cauliflower into florets. Cut celery into 1/2 centimeter slices. Cut peppers in halves, remove stems and seers and cut into 1/2 centimeter slices.

• Bring 3-4 liters water to a boil.
• To the bottom of each jar, add 100 ml apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp salt. 3 tbsp sugar and 3 peppercorns (optional). Layer vegetables -carrots, cauliflower, celery, peppers. Fill to the top, press, to get more vegetables in, but do not squish.
• Top with hot water, filling jars almost to the top. Close lids. Close tight!
• Fill a large canning pot with water. Add jars. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes.Remove from the pot and let jars cool to room temperature.

EASIEST FERMENTED PICKLED VEGETABLES EVER

Steps:

• Place garlic in the bottom of a clean, wide-mouth quart jar. Layer the cut vegetables, pressing down to fit as many as you can up to the shoulder of the jar (1-2 inches headspace).
• Add any seasonings to the contents in the jar.
• Dissolve the salt in the water and pour over the vegetables in the jar until the top vegetables are barely covered.** Use a thin plastic spatula around the sides of the jar to release any air bubbles.
• Use a weight to keep the vegetables under the brine and attach a tight regular lid or airlock lid like the Easy Fermenter.
• Ferment at room temperature (60-70 degrees is ideal) for about 5 days, tasting to see if they are your desired flavor and texture. If using regular lids, burp daily to release excess pressure.
• Once they are finished, move to the refrigerator with a regular lid for storage - the flavor will continue to develop.

QUICK PICKLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Wash two mason jars and lids in hot soapy water, rinse and let air dry.
• Quarter the cucumbers lengthwise into four slices each. Peel the carrots, and cut them into sticks. Cut the cauliflower into florets. If using small bell peppers, cut them into strips.
• Tightly pack the cut vegetables into the two mason jars along with the following ingredients divided between the two jars: 2 whole Serrano peppers (optional), 6 whole garlic cloves, fresh dill, 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, and 2 tablespoons peppercorns.
• In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons sugar, 3 tablespoons kosher salt, 1 ⅓ cup white vinegar, and 2 cups water.
• Once boiling, pour the brine mixture into the jars. Tap the jars on the counter to release any air bubbles and top off the jar with extra water if any vegetables are exposed.
• Place the lids on the jars and screw on the rings until they are tight. Leave the jars in the refrigerator for 24 hours before tasting. The pickles last up to one month refrigerated.

QUICK PICKLED CARROTS

Steps:

• After peeling and trimming the carrots to fit, pack them into a glass mason jar. I used a tall 750ml jar (which is about 25oz for my US friends, or you can divide them between two smaller jars).
• I packed as many as I could (about 6) while still having room to add the whole clove of garlic and dill.
• Add the rest of the ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Once the sugar and salt are dissolved, remove from heat and carefully pour into the jar.
• Let cool to room temperature (about 30-40 minutes), put a lid on the jar and move to the refrigerator.

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.
