Ingredients

Brine:

  • 2 cups white vinegar
  • 2 cups water
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt

Pickled Veggie Options:

  • Carrots sliced into sticks
  • Cucumbers sliced into spears
  • Green Beans trimmed to fit your jar
  • Red Onions thinly sliced
  • Cauliflower cut into small florets
  • Chickpeas rinsed and drained

Spices and Mix-Ins:

  • Peppercorns pink or black
  • Coriander Seeds
  • Fresh Dill
  • Garlic Cloves
  • Peppers Jalapeno, Habanero, etc.
  • Red Pepper Flakes
  • Beet Chunks for pink color

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan add the vinegar, water, salt, and sugar, mix, and bring to a boil. Once salt has dissolved, remove from heat while you assemble your jars.
  • Fill wide-mouth mason jars with your choice of vegetables to pickle.
  • Add any desired spices and mix-ins.
  • Pour the hot liquid over the veggies until each jar is full. Close the jars and store in the fridge.

Notes

  • Feel free to mix a few of each type of veggie into one mason jar or, if you'd prefer, make each mason jar a different veggie.
  • The longer you let the veggies sit in the brine, the better they'll taste. They can be eaten right away, but at least give them 3 days to marinate for maximum flavor. 
  • You can use any type of mason jar, but the wide mouthed version gives you the most space for adding vegetables.
