Ingredients
- any mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, cauliflower)
- 1 1/10 qt glass jar with lid
- 2 tbsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar
- to fill filtered water
Instructions
- 1Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly, then cut them into uniform bite‑size pieces so they pickle evenly.
- 2Sterilize a 1‑liter glass jar by washing it with hot, soapy water, rinsing well, and placing it in a 212°F oven for 10 minutes, or by boiling it for 5 minutes.
- 3Pack the cut vegetables tightly into the cooled, sterilized jar, leaving about 1 cm of headspace at the top.
- 4Add 2 tablespoons of kosher salt directly over the vegetables.
- 5Pour ½ cup of white distilled vinegar over the salted vegetables.
- 6Fill the jar with filtered water until the vegetables are completely submerged, leaving the same 1 cm headspace.
- 7Seal the jar tightly with its lid and give it a gentle shake to distribute the salt and vinegar.
- 8Place the sealed jar on the kitchen counter at room temperature (around 20‑72°F) for 48 hours, turning the jar upside down once a day to ensure even brining.
- 9After 2 days, open the jar, taste a piece, and if the desired tanginess is reached, transfer the jar to the refrigerator.
- 10Store the pickles in the fridge; they will stay crisp and flavorful for up to 2 weeks, becoming more intense over time.
- 11When ready to serve, remove the pickles with clean utensils and enjoy them as a snack, salad topping, or sandwich filler.
