Easy Quick Pickled Vegetables Recipe
Quick pickled veggies might just be the best, no nonsense way to clean out your fridge. They take barely any time, almost no effort, and the payoff is huge. This Quick Pickled Vegetables recipe is flexible and simple so you can make the most of those veggies in the back of your crisper drawer.
Ingredients
- 250 ml water
- 250 ml malt vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 500 grams fresh vegetables or fruit
- 1 tablespoon whole spices or herbs, such as bay leaves and peppercorns
Instructions
- Combine the water, vinegar, salt, brown sugar, and spices in a pot. Bring to a boil, and simmer until the sugar is dissolved.
- Pack the vegetables into a clean glass jar. Pour the hot brine over the vegetables and allow the mixture to cool before putting the lid on and placing it in the fridge.
Notes
It's a good idea to taste the brine before you pour it over the vegetables so you can adjust the sweetness as you desire. For more of a bread and butter pickle vibe, you'll want more sugar.
