Preparation

Quick bringing of vegetables works best if you can blanch them first. Start by boiling a small amount of water. Place vegetables to be pickled in a sieve or fine mesh strainer. Meanwhile, in a container with a lid-mason jar works best, make your brine with equal parts vinegar, sugar, and salt. Add in aromatics if using. Mix to dissolve salt and sugar. Pour boiling water over vegetables, shake dry once or twice, and add to your brine. Cover and refrigerate. Can be used right away or stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
