If you haven’t been pickling fresh veggies then now is the TIME!

They are so fresh, crisp and delicious and make any salad or sandwich SO MUCH BETTER.

We have posted two different recipes. The first is just a basic pickling mixture and is what we use for onions, cauliflower or bell pepper.

The second is for cucumbers and they are ZINGY! They are so good and great just to snack on.

Start by prepping the veggies however you with. The thinner/smaller the pieces the quicker they will pickle.

Make the pickling mixture in a saucepan.

Stir until sugar and salt are dissolved and it begins to boil. Remove from heat to cool slightly.

Fill jars with prepared veggies and cover with the pickling mixture…

…secure with lid and VOILA! PICKLED VEGGIES!

We like to ramp up the pickling mixture for the cucumbers…a little sweeter and with a pinch of heat. SO GOOD!

**This is the same recipe as our Sweet Hot Cucumber Salad.

 

Bring to a boil…

…and pour it over.

You can start eating these as soon as you want…just know the pickling will become stronger over time.

These are wonderful on salads, sandwiches, casseroles...anything! Or just for snacking!
