Vegetables

Pickling Brine

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. For carrots, slice them into thin rounds. For cucumbers, you can slice them into rounds or spears. Cut the radishes in half, and break the cauliflower into small florets. Slice the bell peppers into strips.

  2. 2

    Make the Pickling Brine

    In a saucepan, combine water, white vinegar, sugar, salt, garlic cloves, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.

  3. 3

    Pack the Vegetables

    Place the prepared vegetables into sterilized jars. Make sure to pack them tightly but leave some space at the top.

  4. 4

    Add the Brine

    Once the brine has boiled, carefully pour it over the packed vegetables in the jars, ensuring the vegetables are fully submerged. Leave about half an inch of headspace at the top of the jars.

  5. 5

    Seal and Refrigerate

    Seal the jars with lids and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the jars. The pickled vegetables will be ready to eat after 24 hours, but they taste even better after a few days.
