Quick pickling is a simple method of preserving vegetables using a mixture of vinegar, water, salt, and sugar. Unlike traditional pickling, which can take weeks, quick pickling allows you to enjoy tangy, flavorful veggies in just a few hours. You can use a variety of vegetables like cucumbers, carrots, or radishes, making it a versatile option for adding zest to meals.
To quick pickle, start by slicing your chosen vegetables and placing them in a jar. Then, heat the vinegar mixture until the salt and sugar dissolve, pour it over the veggies, and let them cool. After a few hours in the fridge, your quick pickles are ready to enjoy!
