A Guide on How to Pickle Vegetables For The Whole Family

Pickling Vegetables is an art form. It’s a beautiful way to preserve vegetables and have a flavor explosion in your mouth. Pickled veggies are great to add to recipes, eat on their own, or use as toppings for all sorts of dishes. But how to pickle vegetables? That’s the biggest question. Most people think it’s some complicated science that only the experts can conquer, but the truth is, it’s incredibly easy to make your pickled veggies right at home with some jars, vinegar, and your fav vegetables.

❤️ Why You’ll Love Pickling Vegetables

• Versatile: Pickling Vegetables is incredibly easy and versatile. You can pickle so many kinds of veggies and use them on salads, tacos, sandwiches, or whatever you want
• Food Waste: The best part about Pickling Vegetables is that it’s a great way to use up veggies that are about to go bad and turn them into flavorful, crunchy veggies you can use for months

🍲 Ingredients

Pickling Spice – The pickling spice I used from Mountain Rose Herbs makes pickling super easy and quick to do at home. This blend has over ten cut spices, whole berries, and seeds, that are blended to perfection to complement any refrigerator or canned pickled fruit/veg recipe. You can also make your own with these ingredients, but this blend is not only the perfect ratio but also makes life so much easier.

Vinegar – The other key ingredient when learning how to pickle vegetables is good-quality vinegar. Vinegar is seriously a magic ingredient, it’s so versatile and can be used for everything from household cleaning to delicious pickled goods. Find yourself a good quality vinegar (skip the No Name brands), and add a little quality olive oil and fresh thyme and rosemary to your jars to jam-pack even more flavor into your pickled goods.

👩‍🍳 How to Make Pickled Vegetables

1. Sterilize your jars/cans of choice and begin to fill each with your preferred veggie/herb and root option.
2. To prepare brine or pickling liquid, add all ingredients into a pot and heat till the salt has dissolved.
3. Remove your brine from the heat, let cool slightly, and pour into jar with vegetables. Seal jars tightly, cool, and then refrigerate.
4. Enjoy in around 24-48 hours.

👝 How to Store Leftovers

What I love about crispy pickled veggies is that you can keep them for weeks until they’re all used up. They’re a great way to use up veggies in your fridge and make their shelf life longer. Store in an airtight mason jar for weeks!
