Ingredients

Scale

Brine

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup white vinegar (or substitute half rice vinegar and half apple cider vinegar)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar

Vegetables & Flavorings

  • 1 large bunch radishes, sliced thinly
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced into thin planks
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 4 sweet mini peppers, sliced into rounds
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 large shallot or red onion, sliced
  • 5–6 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 tbsp black peppercorns
  • 1 large bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill
  • 3 small beets, quartered
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
  • 4 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2 scallion whites, chopped into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 jalapeños, thinly sliced into rounds

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Thoroughly wash and slice all vegetables and herbs as directed. Place them evenly into clean glass jars, layering different combinations such as radishes with ginger and turmeric, or asparagus with dill, according to your preference.
  2. Make the Brine: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the water, vinegar, salt, and sugar. Stir occasionally until the mixture comes to a simmer and the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
  3. Pour the Brine: Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully pour the hot brine over the prepared vegetables in the glass jars. Ensure that all produce is fully submerged to prevent spoilage.
  4. Seal and Refrigerate: Seal the jars tightly with lids and place them in the refrigerator. Allow the vegetables to pickle for at least one hour before consuming for the best flavor and crunch. Quick pickles can be stored refrigerated for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • Adjust the vinegar type to control the acidity and flavor profile of your pickles.
  • Use fresh, organic vegetables whenever possible for the best taste and texture.
  • Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize your pickles.
  • Ensure all jars and utensils are clean to avoid contamination.
  • Quick pickles do not require canning or long fermentation, so always keep refrigerated.
